Child Welfare Partnerships
Eight out of ten children served by child welfare agencies have parents with substance abuse problems.When these parents receive substance abuse services, child abuse and neglect drop significantly. Foster care caseloads decline. More birth families stay intact. The economic and social impact is immense.
Veritas spearheaded the integration of substance abuse and child welfare services by partnering with New York City’s child welfare agencies to bring substance abuse services to a greatly underserved child welfare population.
