Family Support Services
Family support services promote healthy development by helping parents to enhance their strengths and resolve problems that can lead to child maltreatment, developmental delays, and family disruption. Services include peer support and counseling, early developmental screening, parent education, early childhood development, child care and respite care, home visits, family resource centers, school-linked services, recreation, and job or skills education or training. Programs may address the general population or be targeted to ethnic/cultural minorities, families facing health, mental health, or substance abuse issues, adolescent parents, or kinship caregivers.
