The implementation of the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) redesigns the child welfare system to support prevention of out-of-home placement. This systemic change requires the child welfare system to realign service delivery to insure at-risk children and families are provided the best opportunities to remain intact.
As the system shift will continue, there are ongoing training needs for the provider community to gain understanding of alignment of practice change.
