As the caseload reduced and deep end expenses dropped, Kids Central was able to re-invest funds in the area of Prevention and Diversion Services. Services were developed with flexibility and timeliness to support the protective Investigator and provide interventions to the family. Diversion services were put into place to include the Neighborhood and Prevention Projects, the Nurturing program, Family Team Coaching, Family Intervention Services (FIS), Family Team Conferencing and the Crisis Response Team and Care Network Consultants. Kids Central has invested significant resources in neighborhood engagement projects designed to address family and community-specific needs that potentially contribute to instances of abuse and neglect. The majority of these services were funded through the savings of deep end dollars and re-invested in the front end. These efforts were highly effective over time in reducing the number of cases coming into care. By making diversion and intervention services available to the Protective Investigator and families at risk, admissions to dependency could be avoided since services are available to families outside the dependency system.
