  • Children, Youth and Families | Pa Families Inc

    PA Families Inc. partners with the Office of Children, Youth, and Families (OCYF) to provide comprehensive support and resources for children and families in Pennsylvania. Discover programs, services, and assistance available for a brighter future. Children, Youth and Families OCYF Pennsylvania’s Child Welfare System is a state supervised and county administered. Every county has a Children and Youth Services Agency that organizes and manages the services that are available in that county. The name of the Children and Youth Services Agency may vary in each county. The purpose of a Children and Youth Services Agency is to provide child welfare services designed to protect children from abuse, neglect, and enable children to remain safely in their homes. It provides services to help families overcome problems that result in dependency, neglect, and delinquency, and to enhance the family’s capacity to provide for their children’s educational, physical, and behavioral health needs. The Children and Youth Service Agency provides adequate substitute care in foster family homes and child caring institutions for any child in need of care due to abuse or neglect. Services are available to children from birth to 18 years of age. However, if a youth should choose to stay involved, in the state of Pennsylvania they can stay until the age of 21. Children and Youth Services promote and protect the health and welfare of children with the focus of keeping families together through protective services. When placement does occur, the goal is to reconnect and reunify the child with the family in as an effective and timely way possible, while ensuring the safety of the child. Why Children, Youth and Families May Be Involved With Your Family The Children, Youth and Families (CYF) works with families that are having a difficult time providing a safe and nurturing environment for their children. CYF is the agency designated by state law to look into allegations of child abuse and neglect. CYF receives referrals from friends, family, neighbors and others; the agency also receives referrals from parents themselves. CYF assigns a Caseworker to look into the allegations and to decide if CYF can help. By law, the agency will offer services to families when: Parents are not able to care for children and no other responsible adult is availableChildren that may have been injured, abused, or sexually molested by their parents or caretakers; children are not adequately cared for or supervised; in certain situations, when parents need help with their problems or their children’s problems. Keeping Families Together The agency’s preference is to keep families together. If your children can live with you and be safe, they will stay with you. Most families who are involved with OCYF continue to live together under the same roof. While parents continue to parent, they are also receiving services from the agency. A Caseworker will meet with family members in the home to assist the family in working through problems. The frequency of home visits will be decided by the parents and the Caseworker. If adults and children cannot live together safely, CYF will provide a safe, temporary home for the children. This “out-of-home” placement may be with relatives. It may be with a foster family. Less often, it is in a group home, a residential center or shelter.

  • Probation/Court/Legal | Pa Families Inc

    PA Families Inc. offers guidance and support for individuals navigating probation, court, and legal challenges. We provide resources, legal aid, and advocacy to help you understand your rights and achieve the best possible outcomes. Probation/Court/Legal In June 2010, at the annual strategic planning meeting, the Executive Committee of the Pennsylvania Council of Chief Juvenile Probation Officers and The Juvenile Court Judges Commission (JCJC) agreed to develop the Juvenile Justice System Enhancement Strategy (JJSES ) . Shortly thereafter, the JJSES Statement of Purpose was developed to outline our vision: We dedicate ourselves to working in partnership to enhance the capacity of Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system to achieve its balanced and restorative justice mission by employing evidence-based practices, with fidelity, at every stage of the juvenile justice process; collecting and analyzing the data necessary to measure the results of these efforts; and with this knowledge, strive to continuously improve the quality of our decisions, services, and programs. Over the last decade, the juvenile justice system has been retraining and retooling to incorporate evidence-based practices. While the JJSES has fundamentally altered the operation of Pennsylvania's juvenile justice system, our sights remain firmly fixed on the BARJ goals. Evidence-based practices do not supplant BARJ; rather, they bolster our ability to attain BARJ goals - - Advancing BARJ through JJSES . The Chiefs' Council remains committed to achieving these goals in partnership with the following; Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, Bureau of Juvenile Justice Services, Department of Human Services, Center for Juvenile Justice Training and Research, Pennsylvania Council of Children, Youth & Family Services, Office of Victim Advocate, and the citizens of Pennsylvania.
