The Nebraska Prevention Program Plan outlines the vision of the Division of Children and Family Services is that “CFS will utilize the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) to improve prevention services and remove fewer youth from the parental home, while providing more comprehensive, evidence-based services to children in their own homes, with their family, with reduced levels of secondary trauma.
Families will progress more efficiently and more timely within CFS. CFS will have a reduction in the turnover rate of case managers and ensure staff are supported and satisfied, while continuing to be proficient at their work, engage with a family so their voice and choice is considered and that families will have the same case manager through the life of the case as often as possible. To achieve this vision, CFS will have improved collaboration, information sharing, continuity and performance within CFS, with the families we work with, and all parties within the Nebraska child welfare system.”
