Sec. 8. Statement of intent regarding youth services. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department of Human Services and the Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services provide services to eligible children and their families in home and community settings whenever possible, minimizing the need for intervention by the State and eliminating the need for parents to give up custody in order to qualify their children for services. As appropriate to the child and family and within existing resources, services must include assessment, health care and case management.
