Family Outreach Services
Family Outreach Services hopes to educate the community (schools, daycares, and other youth services) that not all SCI reports involve abuse and neglect,
Desert View is proud to partner with CYFD (Children’s Youth & Family Department), and a growing number of family-centered agencies, which are also offering the Family Outreach Program to respond more flexibly to child abuse and neglect reports and meet individual family needs exactly where they are.
In these systems, families with screened-in child maltreatment reports may receive either a traditional investigation or an alternative assessment response, depending on the type of allegation and other considerations.
Sometimes, a report is made, and it is discovered that a family is just lacking the opportunity for services. So Desert View provides hands-on assistance and reliable resources to the family in need, keeping the report to a minimum because the family is being proactive.
