Planning Psychosocial Services for Families in Child Welfare
What are the right strategies for families involved with child welfare? Dr. Mark Chaffin, professor of pediatrics, clinical associate and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, leads a Foster Care Assessment Program (FCAP) seminar that explores an evidence-based method for creating a service plan for individual families involved in child welfare. Chaffin, and experts from the Harborview Center for Sexual Assault and Traumatic Stress, considers an approach that includes basic triage principles, the precedence of focus over breadth of coverage, the phenomenon of a rising tide raising all boats, the idea that more is sometimes less, distinctions between mission critical vs. optional services and issues of client burden, motivation and preference in service selection. Speakers also present new research on modifications that may need to be made for chronic neglect cases.
