DFS Liaisons

DFS Liaisons are located within the Division of Family Services offices to assist parents who have both open DFS cases and substance use issues. DFS Liaisons are referred to cases by DFS workers with the purpose of helping parents meet their goals and safely keep their children.

DFS Liaisons attend court to offer updates on the progress of parents who are engaged with Brandywine Counseling & Community Services, and also train DFS workers on the effects of drugs and alcohol on families. Frequently, liaisons attend family meetings to help design plans that will hopefully allow the parents to successfully access substance use treatment as well as parent their children.

DFS Liaisons are also available to answer questions from BCCS clinical staff about DFS cases, questions from DFS workers about individual client progress and the treatment process, and questions from DFS-involved BCCS clients.
