Child and Family Services of Western Manitoba exists
so that children are safe and nurtured in strong, loving families
within a community of caring people. 

Differential Response (DR) is an approach to child welfare that offers early, intensive and supportive intervention with families to help prevent situations where children may become in need of protection. DR programs are part of the province's Changes for Children initiative.

CFS Western has developed and implemented two specific DR programs in response to the initiative.
