“CAFA”

CAFA, or the “Child Abuse and Family Assessment” program, is an approach used by social services to evaluate and support families where child abuse or neglect is suspected. It involves thorough assessments to understand the child’s safety, well-being, and the family’s needs. The goal is to ensure children are protected while helping families access resources and make positive changes. CAFA emphasizes collaboration, careful evaluation, and tailored interventions to promote safety and stability within the family environment.
