The webinar provided an overview of the FFPSA and focused on parts I and IV – prevention services focused on providing front end services to families that are candidates for foster care and reducing the amount of youth in congregate care. Panelists also discussed California’s implementation efforts and presented comprehensive considerations for tribal leaders and stakeholders to think about when implementing FFPSA.
