What are the four service goals of Child Welfare Services?

  1. Adoption or attainment of permanent living arrangements

  2. Family reunification

  3. Family preservation

  4. Youth development

The correct answer is: Youth development

The four service goals of Child Welfare Services are typically focused on the child's well-being and their need for a safe and stable environment. Options A, B, and C are commonly recognized goals in Child Welfare Services, as they aim to ensure that children are placed in safe and nurturing environments, reunified with their families whenever possible, and that families are supported and preserved whenever feasible. However, option D, "Youth development," while equally important for overall child welfare, is not typically considered as one of the core service goals in Child Welfare Services. Instead, youth development programs may be a supportive service provided alongside the primary goals of adoption or attainment of permanent living arrangements, family reunification, and family preservation.
