and collaboration among local government, non-profit organizations,
businesses and parents for the benefit of Wayne County’s children.

infants and children

The COUNCIL agrees to rely upon the following principles as
the COUNCIL strives to meet the objectives:
- Promote services which focus on family preservation and family
empowerment.
- Provide service coordination using a non-categorical approach.
|
 |
- Ensure that services will be child centered, family
focused, culturally sensitive and if appropriate,
be provided in the community of the child.
- Develop a comprehensive, well coordinated continuum
of services.
- Meet the needs of families and children in the least
restrictive, most effective, normative environment.
- Develop, if available, a program that wraps services
around the family's and children’s needs.
|
- Arrange services with due consideration for the long-term
needs of the family and child and most judicious use of resources.
- Focus on prevention and early intervention.
