Secondary prevention is offered to a pre-defined group of families or individuals not on the active Children's Protective Services caseload of the Family Independence Agency, but in need of services to keep the family together.
Secondary prevention is more problem-focused than primary prevention.
We had 68 proposals representing 75 counties. That indicates a real interest in protecting children in Michigan communities. These new grants will enhance the abilities of communities to protect children even more. All grants are endorsed by local Multi-Purpose Collaborative Bodies. Both sets of grants are based on recommendations by the Lieutenant Governor's Children's Commission.
