概述
The Child and Family Well-Being (CFWB) Department is the County’s new approach to empowering children, youth, and families to have the support, connections, and resources to be healthy and remain together without system involvement.
縣政府設立了CFWB,旨在徹底改變家庭和社區的支持方式。我們希望防止兒童和青少年進入兒童福利體系,並與家庭建立合作關係,依靠他們的經驗,讓他們成為保障兒童安全的專家。
新部門整合了聖地牙哥第一五委員會、兒童福利服務、兒童照顧服務和其他重要資源,與兒童、青少年和家庭建立合作關係。
我們的目標
我們的目標是在需要寄養之前,專注於公平、預防和支持家庭,以確保兒童安全。.
我們希望實現的目標:
- Keep families together
- Hold the family’s voice as the expert in how to best keep their children safe
- Provide family strengthening and prevention services to families in a more holistic, equitable, and integrated way

Our priorities
Our primary focus is strengthening families so that children grow up nurtured and safe. We help families and communities create plans and make decisions to keep children safe. We use three priorities to guide these decisions:
- Safely stabilize and preserve families; and if that is not possible…
- Safely care for children and then return them to their original families; and if that is not possible…
- Safely support a permanent residence and provide for long-term relationships for children and youth.
Our core values
Six values guide our work within the community:
- Relationships with children, youth and families are the foundation.
- We work in partnership with extended family and resource families.
- We help children and youth achieve their full potential and develop lifelong relationships.
- We see this as a shared responsibility with community partners.
- We work closely with the legal system.
- Our workforce is characterized by reflection, appreciation and ongoing learning.
