FOLSOM, Calif., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Today, Opeeka announced the release of its Person-Centered Intelligence Solution (P-CIS), an assessment and care planning software for social, behavioral and mental health care. P-CIS supports person-centered care by helping youth and families in care easily communicate their story, circumstances, and progress. The cloud-based assessment software puts people at the center of their story and helps providers better serve people in care. Because P-CIS learns what works for whom and provides continuous monitoring and evaluation of care at the person and population level, it helps meet many of the requirements recently mandated in the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA).

The Virginia House and Senate have released their proposed amendments to the two-year state budget. That includes their suggested funding for child welfare, which advocates say contains both good and bad news for children and families in foster care.
The House and Senate kept all of the funding the governor proposed, about $16 million for positions in the Department of Social Services and $14 million for prevention services, which help keep children out of foster care entirely. But Allison Gilbreath with Voices of Virginia’s Children says they were hoping for more support.
