It is a preventative tool designed to assist families so that children do not come into care.
The focus is to establish programs and services based on identified needs to promote the well-being of children, youth, and families by providing opportunities to make positive choices for a healthy lifestyle through meaningful program experiences. Prevention initiatives may also assist in enhancing existing programs within the communities.
Prevention programs are generally open to all individuals; however, from time to time they may be client-based. If you and your children are interested in participating in these fun learning activities, contact your local DOCFS office to inquire about their monthly schedule.
