Children’s Services Act (CSA)
The Children’s Services Act (CSA) is a Virginia law designed to provide coordinated, child-centered, family-focused services for at-risk youth and their families. Through a collaborative approach, CSA brings together local agencies, service providers, and community partners to ensure that children and families receive the support they need to thrive.
Who Does CSA Serve?
CSA focuses on children and adolescents with significant emotional or behavioral challenges, those involved in foster care or the juvenile justice system, and youth who require specialized educational services. The goal is to address individual needs while promoting safety, stability, and well-being.
How Does CSA Work?
Each locality operates a Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) that evaluates the needs of eligible youth and their families. This team develops tailored service plans that may include behavioral health therapy, residential treatment, educational support, and more. The CSA process ensures a holistic and cost-effective approach, leveraging state and local resources to achieve the best outcomes.
Why Choose CSA?
The CSA program emphasizes collaboration and personalization, ensuring that every child and family receives the right support at the right time. By fostering partnerships and empowering families, CSA helps build a stronger foundation for long-term success.
