DANSR Principles
Dependency and Neglect System Reform (DANSR) is an approach to managing cases, specifically high-risk cases involving substance use. The approach involves a set of 6 Principles.
- Engage families immediately and universally identify substance use and other needs.
- Families complete substance use and other assessments and begin treatment as soon as possible once needs are identified.
- Enhance communication, collaboration, engagement, and integration of treatment information into the management of the case through the use of multi-disciplinary team staffing.
- Provide timely judicial support and oversight to meet the individual needs of each family.
- Enhance data collection and information sharing across the court, child welfare, and treatment.
- State and local teams coordinate strategy at the systems level and participate in collaborative training
