Description:
The overall purpose of the Early Head Start/Child Welfare System (EHS/CWS) Initiative was to enhance and expand the service network for children and families involved in the child welfare system and to provide more intensive supplemental services in local communities that could benefit child welfare populations. The Initiative built upon an approach that assumed intensive collaboration and coordination between EHS agencies and local child welfare agencies would provide the most vulnerable children and families with access to child development, parenting, health, and family support services offered through EHS. These enhanced services were expected to result in improvements in safety, permanency, and well-being for CWS-involved infants and toddlers. (author abstract)
