Comprehensive Counseling and Support Services (CCSS) provide integrated services to promote the safety, permanency and well-being of children and families on Oahu by addressing the causes that place children at risk of child abuse, neglect or result in child maltreatment. Families are referred to the program by Child Welfare Services (CWS), Voluntary Case Management (VCM) or Family Strengthening Services (FSS).

The overall goal of CCSS is to assist families with providing and promoting a safe family home for their children. The program is committed to providing a non-judgmental, culturally sensitive environment that focuses on the individual needs of each family.

Your visitation monitor will:
