CSA Policy Procedure 2016

What is the Children’s Services Act for AT-Risk Youth and Families?

Known also as the CSA, it is a Virginia law designed to help troubled youths and their families. State and local agencies, parents and private service providers work together to plan and provide services. Local FAPT and CPMT teams will provide guidance in this area for GraysonCounty.

The Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT):

CPMT coordinates agency efforts, manages the available funds, and see the eligible youths and their families get help.

The Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT):

FAPT looks at the strengths and needs of the individual youth and families, decides what services to off and prepares a service plan thru Family Engagements. Both teams include parents, staff from Community Services Boards, Court Service Units, Department of Health, Social Services, Public Schools and Private Providers.
