The Rapid Response Team collaborates directly with Nevada County Child Welfare to offer preventative and early intervention services to ensure that families stabilize, mitigate safety concerns, can meet their needs, and remain intact and kept from further involvement with the Child Welfare System. This webinar will provide information on how Rapid Response was created, the services it offers to families, how Nevada County Child Welfare and Victor Community Support Services collaborate, the program’s greatest successes supported by data, as well as how Nevada County funds this essential service. Preliminary data strongly suggests that Rapid Response Team decreases detentions, decreases the likelihood of a subsequent investigation, and, if there is a subsequent investigation, decreases the likelihood of substantiated abuse.
