A Wellness Model

Unlike the way children have historically been served, with an emphasis on assuring services only when a serious problem developed and young people posed a threat to public safety or the health of communities, the model calls for change.

The Commission on Children and Families shifts the focus to early childhood development, strong prevention components, strengthening and supporting families - specifically stating that this new system "shall be based on promoting the Wellness of Klamath County's children and families."
