STEP BY STEP: AN INTRODUCTION TO CHILD AND FAMILY TEAMS
Step by Step: An Introduction to Child and Family Teams is a two-day interactive orientation and practice training focused on the use of child and family teams as part of service delivery within the North Carolina Multiple Response System. Step by Step replaces the Setting the Stage and Caution: Family Meeting Ahead! courses, and will serve as the prerequisite event for all other training events for the NC Family-Centered Meeting Project.
With a fun, new and easy to understand format, participants will learn the philosophies and benefits of convening meetings that include family, extended family, friends, service providers, and community members in order to make plans and decisions that promote child and family safety and well-being. Using a variety of lively materials and exercises, participants will learn the definition, structure, and process of a child and family team, how it can be used, when you should have one, and what their role will be as a participant in the meetings.
Participants will also have beginning practice opportunities and the chance to see elements of the Child and Family Team in action. Attention will be given to a unique approach to understanding family culture and honoring that in the child and family team, the role of preparation by social workers, the distinction between participant and facilitator roles, and participant responsibilities at child and family teams. This course was developed by NC Family-Centered Meeting Project, part of the NC State University Department of Sociology and Social Work. Contact Hours: 12 hours.
The curriculum is targeted for child welfare workers, facilitators, and community providers involved with child and family team meets for DSS.
