Prevention Early Intervention (PEI) Resources
The Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) is a pilot program launching in service areas 2 and 6 in partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), Department of Public Health (DPH), Probation Department, and Office of Child Protection (OCP). Through this program, agencies will provide early intervention mental health services using evidence-based practices (EBPs) delivered by clinical staff as part of multi-disciplinary teams for children ages 2 to 18.
This unique pilot program will be working with the specific EBPs:
- Family Functional Therapy (FFT)
- Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST)
- Parent-Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT)
