Is it possible for child welfare practitioners to be truly family-centered while ensuring that vulnerable children are protected? Why return abused and neglected children to the families that damaged them? How can we engage families as partners rather than adversaries?
These are questions that will be addressed in a dynamic and interactive session that encourages child welfare practitioners to rethink common ideas about families involved in the child welfare system.
Ideas will be presented through use of multiple media including PowerPoint slides, small group activities, handouts, and individual worksheets. Lecture will be minimal.
Participants will:
- Define family centered child welfare practice
- Understand why family centered practice is best practice
- Identify steps toward becoming more family centered
- Leave the training with an increased empathy toward client
