Looking forward to discussing the importance of system alignments and policy changes to support family reunification. Stop by our session to join the conversation!

Housing issues are significant but just one of many systemic issues that prevent reunification. Once the danger threat that led to removal has been resolved OR an in-home safety plan can be implemented, children should be reunified with court oversight. Parents involved with child protective services are held to unreasonable expectations due to state and local jurisdictions fearing liability if something should go wrong. In many cases, children can be returned home more quickly if social service agencies would focus on assisting families in identifying and strengthening an organic safety network to use moving forward, eliminating the need for further oversight. #childwelfare #familyfirstpreventionservicesact #familypreservation #childprotection #childprotectiveservices #effectivefostercare #inhomefamilyservices #circlesofsafety #safetyorganizedpractice NC Department of Health and Human Services The Center for Child Welfare Annie E.

【Scoping Review】 Family-oriented interventions in long-term care facilities are associated with high care quality and better resident-staff-family partnership. Staff education and staff-family conversation are relatively cheap interventions to help family involvement, facilitate shared decision-making, and improve family satisfaction.  https://lnkd.in/gHe9ECc7
