Family Voices
Insights about prevention services from families and youth directly affected by the Massachusetts Child Welfare system
Families and youth shared essential insights into what services worked for them, both those they received through DCF and those they found outside of DCF. They also talked about the services they needed but did not get. Finally, they shared important information about the impact of the DCF system on the effectiveness of its services.
This report is a call to partner with families and youth with lived experience for prevention services planning.
