What is the goal of the Extended Family Support Program (EFSP) in the child welfare system?

To provide financial incentives for caregivers
To remove children from their families permanently
To stabilize relative caregiver families and avoid child welfare system involvement
To provide residential treatment for children

The correct answer is: To stabilize relative caregiver families and avoid child welfare system involvement

The correct answer is C. The goal of the Extended Family Support Program (EFSP) in the child welfare system is to stabilize relative caregiver families and avoid child welfare system involvement. This program aims to keep children within their extended family network whenever possible, promoting stability and a sense of belonging for the children in need of care. By providing support and resources to relative caregivers, the EFSP helps in preventing the unnecessary removal of children from their families and ensures they receive care within a familiar and supportive environment.
