Description

B1 - Strengthening Families by Engaging Youth, Parents, Families, and Communities: Results from the Child and Family Services Reviews

This presentation uses Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR) data from 50 states and the District of Columbia to highlight evidence-informed challenges and solutions to promoting well-being through youth, parent, family, and community engagement. Data represent 4,067 cases of children involved with child welfare (2015–2018). The results indicate ways in which agencies can promote engagement through case planning, needs assessment and service provision, caseworker-parent visits, parent-child visitation, and caseworker-child visitation. They also indicate the importance of promoting positive relationships between children and their parent(s), as well as preserving children’s connections to their neighborhood, community, faith, extended family, Tribe, school, and friends.
