About the Family Assessment and Planning Team
The Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT), in accordance with the Code of Virginia, § 2.2-2648, shall ensure the Child Specific Team assesses the strengths and needs of troubled youths and families who are approved for referral to the team and identify and determine the complement of services required to meet those needs. Members are appointed by the Community Policy and Management Team. The FAPT includes a representative from the following agencies: Department of Social Services, Public Schools, Community Services Board, and Court Services Unit. The team also includes a parent representative and private provider representative.
