Strengthening VC Families

Call Directions Website

Strengthening VC Families Strengthening VC Families is a program of Ventura County Children & Family Services. Our goal is to reunify children with their parents whenever possible.

When a child is abused or neglected, he or she may need immediate protection, or a family may need extra support to ensure the safety of the child; this is when Children & Family Services may become involved. If Children & Family Services becomes involved, the parent and a social worker work together to develop a plan that may include counseling, substance abuse treatment, parent education or other services to address the family's needs. Fostering families are essential to this process. Fostering families’ partner alongside social workers, parents and their children to reach the shared goal to protect children by strengthening families. When reunification is not possible, and parental rights have been terminated, fostering families have the opportunity to become adoptive forever families.

A storm system headed for Southern California will bring widespread rain to the area late tonight through Thursday. There is a chance of thunderstorms with potential for heavy downpours, lightning, strong wind gusts and a very small chance of a brief tornado. Use caution when driving as roads could be slick, ponding water is possible on low lying roads, and heavy rain can reduce visibility.
