The Family First Prevention Services Act (2018) represents a significant shift in child welfare policy by emphasizing prevention services. This groundbreaking legislation provides states with increased funding to support families in crisis, offering essential resources and interventions designed to keep children safely at home. By focusing on the preservation of family structures and enhancing family stability, the act aims to reduce the need for foster care placements. As a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting vulnerable families, Child’s Cry for Help is committed to advocating for the effective implementation of these services in Florida and beyond.
