More crisis help for Washington families

Washington's Department of Children, Youth, and Families or its contractor must offer family crisis services, subject to funding. Families or youth experiencing conflict must request help. Services must also be offered for youth reported away from their legally required home without parental permission. Youth in county juvenile detention with family conflict qualify when the youth, family, or detention center requests help. Youth identified through the state's youth housing crisis program also qualify when services are requested. Providers must coordinate with any community support team already serving the family or youth. Services respect families' cultures and account for trauma. They can include crisis support, parent training, conflict resolution, and referrals for health care, suicide prevention, legal help, and education. By July 1, 2025, the department must offer at least one community service contract where these services already exist, subject to funding. That requirement takes effect June 1, 2025; the rest of the law takes effect July 27, 2025. The entire law is null and void unless the omnibus budget provided specific funding referencing its bill or chapter number by June 30, 2025.
