The Center for the Support of Families (CSF) is a nation-wide leader in consulting and program redesign for health and human services agencies. Working at the local, state, and federal levels, CSF integrates new strategies and technologies into social services, and has played key roles on some of the largest and most important child support and child and family services initiatives. The CSF Child Support Practice has served child support enforcement agencies in all 50 states, helping to ensure efficient and effective parent locate services, paternity establishment, payment distributions, and cooperation and program support from the employer community. The CSF Child Welfare Practice has helped to implement major child welfare program reform in states and metropolitan jurisdictions throughout the nation, focusing on issues related to child safety and risk, family functioning, family needs assessment, and the establishment of clear models of practice. The CSF Social Marketing Practice helps agencies to achieve congruence with the individuals and families they serve, using such techniques as target audience segmentation, audience member location and behavior analysis, outreach strategy development, and outreach execution.
