Cases within the Family Services units are often involved with the Allen County Juvenile Court through an order of Protective Supervision. Protection Supervision cases allow families to remain within the same household while working with the agency to identify areas of need.

Areas of need include:

• Unsafe Home Conditions
• Substance Abuse
• Domestic Violence
• Neglect

There are cases, however, where due to imminent safety concerns for the children, they are unable to remain with their families. In these particular situations, the children are placed in the temporary custody of relatives or with the Allen County Children Services Board. Our agency works with families to safely reunify the children.
