Florida's Child Welfare
The Family First Prevention Services Actwas tucked away inside a spending bill signed by President Donald Trump in February of last year. The act is intended to reduce the number of Florida kids going into foster care. More money will go toward at-home parenting classes, mental health counseling and substance abuse treatment.
Bill Frye, President of the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, joined us with more information on this new act and how it will impact Florida.
