Coordinated Family Services

It is not a specific program or service, rather it is a team process based on family and community commitment to create services for each child and family. It is an approach to respond to children and families with multiple, often serious needs. An individualized plan is created that can be changed according to circumstances and changes as the parents have ultimate ownership of it. The services are supported through collaborative efforts of agencies, government and volunteers.
