The Center for Excellence in Family Finding, Engagement and Support

Center for Excellence in Family Finding and Engagement logo

The Center for Excellence in Family Finding, Engagement and Support assists county child welfare agency efforts to keep youth connected to their biological families and extended family members. Children placed with relatives and extended family members have greater placement stability, fewer emotional and behavioral problems, and more connections to their social-cultural communities. The Center provides statewide, culturally appropriate training and technical assistance to county child welfare and probation departments, behavioral health, and other child-serving stakeholders, including tribal partners and service providers, to enhance their practices, policies, and efforts for family finding, support, and engagement.
