Family Services

A Family Services (FS) intake is created when a family or concerned individual seeks services from an agency to address difficult circumstances related to one or more of the family's children. The services could include those requested while a child remains in his/her home or during a child's temporary voluntary placement in an out-of-home setting. An FS intake that is screened in requires an evaluation to determine the requirements of the child/family members. The caseworker works with the family members to identify short and long-term goals, and related services.
