About the Family First Prevention Services Act
The New York State Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) is a comprehensive legislative initiative aimed at transforming the child welfare system. FFPSA emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in providing effective services and support to children and families. With a focus on prevention and family preservation, FFPSA encourages the use of EBPs to address the underlying causes of child maltreatment and promote positive outcomes. By prioritizing EBPs, FFPSA seeks to enhance the quality and effectiveness of interventions, ensuring that resources are allocated to programs and services that have demonstrated positive impacts on child well-being and family stability.
