ISLIP, N.Y., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Netsmart Technologies, Inc. , a

throughout the State. The goal of DCFS mental health services is to strengthen
and empower parent-child-family relationships and to enhance each child's social
and emotional functioning. The client is the child in the family ... and the
child and the family.
