Dependency Services Program has three components:

• Family Reunification:
  • The process of reconnecting children with their families. Services are provided after children have been declared dependents of the Juvenile Court and placed out of the home of the parent(s).
  • Provides intensive services to address the issues that brought the children into CPS.
• Dependent Supervision:
  • Services are provided to families in which the children have been declared dependents of the Juvenile Court and are placed in the home of the parent(s) under a court-ordered plan of services and supervision developed to ensure the safety of the child.
• Permanency Services:
  • Supportive services for when a child is unable to return home, and a permanent plan is not immediately possible.
  • Services include placement support in the most permanent and least restrictive environment possible. Efforts to find a family willing and able to commit to guardianship or adoption continue.
