Re: boot camps

["Freya Schultz" <freya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use teams to review cases for placement/therapy decisions with Probationa and Mental Health, but even if teams of people doing family visits in protective services DID work better, there is no money to fund this very expensive way of operating in most U.S. jurisdictions.  Few states put in any more money for protective services investigations than is mandated by minimum Federal matching requirements.

 

We are involved in the Annie E. Casey initiative entitled "Family to Family" which includes "Team Decision Making" and developing group community supports.  You may wish to explore this at their web site. We are also doing "Linkages", a Stuart Famly Foundation-funded intitiatvie in California which involves bringing TANF staff into the protective services function to help TANF families with referrals, but not full-blown "cases" before removal has to be considered.  This is another type of team.  The initiative is described at http://www.ccrwf.org.

Colleagues,

In concert with our State Department of Social Services we are looking for
information specific to using a team (vs. one on one) approach in Family/Child
Protective Work. Specifically, we are looking for feedback from demonstration
projects, or models like this operating in public child welfare systems.

We are looking for published as well as non-published contacts to gather data
regarding the effectiveness of team work in child/family protective systems.

That is, many states still
>use a caseworker to case method: we are looking for data regarding the models
>and effectiveness of a team model in this work. This straddles both research
>as well as practice reporting: qualitative reports from programs now engaged
>in this model are welcome as well.

Much appreciated. Please CC John Vogel above in your response.

I believe the findings are that it is not an effective intervention, but I
don't have cites.
