SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Action Network Family Resource Center was selected from a Request for Proposal process to provide Differential Response (DR) services within the Point Arena School District's geographical boundaries for an average of 10 cases at a time and up to 30 cases a year. DR allows for a broader set of responses to reports of possible child abuse or neglect and includes prevention and early intervention, engaging families to address issues of safety and risk, and improving access to services. Action Network Family Resource Center will receive referrals with low to moderate risk from Family and Children's Services and will engage with the families, conduct needs assessments, develop service plans tailored to meet the needs of the family, and provide case management for up to 6 months with the goal of preventing the likelihood of child abuse and neglect, recurrence of maltreatment, and/or the likelihood of re-entry to foster care.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
