Systems of Care

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) funds Systems of Care services to address multiple issues that hinder positive development and contribute to risk of foster placement disruption of children who are wards of DCFS. Systems of Care services are provided in Jackson and Perry counties. Referrals must come from DCFS staff or from staff of Child Welfare Agencies who have foster care contracts with DCFS.
