Family Support and Connections is a collaborative partnership of community agencies and schools, working together to reduce child abuse and neglect in Lane County. Catholic Community Services coordinates this collaborative program and serves as fiscal agent.
Teams at nine sites, both rural and local, meet monthly or weekly to "triage" families referred by Child Welfare. The teams review referrals and determine a plan of action for serving the family. A Family support worker coordinates each site and serves as a short term family advocate to identify needs and remove possible barriers that may keep families from needed services.
