Family Support Programs

Community Response Program

Orange County Department of Social Services

The Community Response Program (CRP) provides family-centered services for Orange County families with children birth to 5 who have been reported to Child Protective Services (CPS) with reports closed or screened out at intake. CRP engages families for up to 6 months through home visits to build upon family strengths or to meet needs. Home visits focus on building protective factors to reduce risk factors that can lead to further CPS involvement, increase positive parenting practices, and encourage healthy child development. Families are provided with family support services including a family assessment, screening children under the age of 5 for early intervention services, linkage to community resources, and information on child development and parenting. Evidence-based interventions include Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) and Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-UP (ABC). CRP will train additional CPS staff in Triple P in order to broaden the scope of the interventions available through Orange County DSS.
