Section 8-102 - State policy.

§ 8-102. State policy.
 

It is the policy of the State to promote a stable, safe, and healthy environment for children and families, thereby increasing self-sufficiency and family preservation, through a comprehensive and coordinated interagency approach that: 

(1) provides a continuum of care that is family- and child-oriented and emphasizes prevention, early intervention, and community-based services; and 

(2) gives priority to children and families most at risk.
