Rhode Island TITLE IV-B CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICE PLAN Five Year Plan – 2010-2014 Introduction – The Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families has combined responsibility for child welfare, juvenile corrections and children’s behavioral health services. The agency was created in 1980 and is statutorily designated as the “principal agency of the state to mobilize the human, physical, and financial resources available to plan, develop, and evaluate a comprehensive and integrated statewide program of services designed to ensure the opportunity for children to reach their full potential. Such services shall include prevention, early intervention, outreach, placement, care and treatment, and aftercare programs. The Department shall also serve as an advocate for the needs of children,” (RIGL 42-72-5). The agency is guided by strong vision and mission statements that were crafted by a cross-section of the Department’s staff: Vision – As active members of the community, we share a vision that all children, youth and families reach their fullest potential in a safe and nurturing environment. Mission – It is the mission of DCYF to assist families with their primary responsibility to raise their children to become productive members of society. We recognize our obligation to promote, safeguard and protect the overall well-being of culturally diverse children, youth and families and the communities in which they live through a partnership with families, communities and government. Through multiple programs extending through a range of community-based care to residential treatment, the Department provides child protection, child welfare, children’s behavioral health and education, preventive services to children at risk of abuse/neglect, support services for children and families in need, and services for youth requiring community supervision or incarceration due to delinquency. This combined responsibility and service structure positions DCYF quite well for working in concert with other state departments, community-based agencies and family representatives to continuously develop and improve strategies through the Title IV-B Child and Family Service Plan that address fundamental needs of children and families. Responsibility for the Title IV-B Child and Family Service Plan is within the Director’s Office in the Division of Management and Budget. R.I.
