Children’s Services Council of Broward County (CSC) announces Family Supports services begin October 1, 2023

The CSC Family Supports programs begin services on October 1, 2023. Services
include Family Strengthening, Supporting MOMS, Kinship, Kinship Legal, and Supervised Visitation programming. The intent of these programs is to reduce the incidence and impact of child abuse, neglect, and trauma and to ensure a continuum of maternal health services for families living in Broward County.

Family Strengthening- Evidence-based and best practice interventions designed to address multiple socio-environmental factors, stabilize families in crisis, and prevent out-of-home placement/ involvement in the dependency system.

Supporting MOMS- Addresses the risks associated with maternal emotional distress (depression
and/or anxiety), a high-risk, complex problem. These programs provide in-home support.
Kinship/Kinship-Legal- Programs provide support services to maintain a stable home for children being raised by relative or non-relative caregivers when the biological parent(s) are unable to do so.

In collaboration with The Jim Moran Foundation, these kinship programs provide comprehensive case management and legal services in the home and at convenient community locations to strengthen families and reduce risk factors for children in kinship care throughout Broward County.

Supervised Visitation- Services ensure the safety and welfare of the child(ren) and adults and foster an ongoing relationship between the non-custodial parent and child(ren) in a safe, structured environment.
