Elements of Strategic Planning
  • Strategic planning is a continual process for
    improving organizational performance by
    developing strategies to produce results.
  • Planning is strategic when it focuses on what the
    agency wants to accomplish (outcomes) and on how
    to move the agency towards these larger goals.
  • Strategic planning involves engaging all
    stakeholders.
  • Strategic planning communicates the agencys
    mission and goals to the public.

Definition of a System of Care
A system of care incorporates a broad, flexible
array of services and supports for a defined
population(s) that is organized into a
coordinated network, integrates service planning
and service coordination and management across
multiple levels, is culturally and linguistically
competent, builds meaningful partnerships with
families and youth at service delivery,
management, and policy levels, and has supportive
management and policy infrastructure.

Organizing Framework
System of care is, first and foremost, a set of
values and principles that provides an organizing
framework for systems reform on behalf of
children, youth and families.

Principles of Family Support Practice
  • Staff families work together in relationships
    based on equality and respect.
  • Staff enhances families capacity to support the
    growth and development of all family members.
  • Families are resources to their own members,
    other families, programs, and communities.
  • Programs affirm and strengthen families
    cultural, racial, and linguistic identities.
  • Programs are embedded in their communities and
    contribute to the community building.
  • Programs advocate with families for services and
    systems that are fair, responsive, and
    accountable to the families served.
  • Practitioners work with families to mobilize
    formal and informal resources to support family
    development.
  • Programs are flexible responsive to emerging
    family community issues.
  • Principles of family support are modeled in all
    program activities.

How Families Become Involved with Child Welfare
  • Based on safety concerns, families are
    investigated for their parenting and abuse and
    neglect is founded.
  • Families are in need of services and supports to
    increase their parenting skills and preserve
    their family.
  • The needs of parents can be serious when they are
    dealing with their own childhood traumatic
    experiences, violence, mental health, cognitive,
    and substance abuse concerns.
  • The child or youth within a family may display
    harmful or delinquent behaviors and become court
    ordered to placement.
  • Families are unable to access the necessary
    services needed to meet their child or youths
    serious emotional disturbance.
  • The majority of families involved with the system
    of care through child welfare become involved
    involuntarily.

32
Family Centered Practice in Child Welfare
  • The family unit is the focus of attention.
  • Strengthening the capacity of families to
    function effectively is emphasized.
  • Families are linked with more comprehensive,
    diverse, and community-based networks of supports
    and services.
  • Families are engaged in designing all aspects of
    the policies, services, and program evaluation.

Child Welfare Population Issues
  • All children and families involved in child
    welfare?
  • If subsets, who?

Demographic e.g., infants, transition-age youth
Intensity of System Involvement e.g., out of
home placement, multi-system, length of stay
At Risk e.g., Children at home at risk of out
of home placement? Children in permanent
placements at risk of disruption ? (e.g.,
subsidized adoption, kinship care, permanent
foster care)
Level of Severity e.g., Children with serious
emotional/behavioral disorders, serious
physical health problems, developmental
disabilities, co-occurring

Example Transition-Age Youth
What outcomes do we want to see for this
population? (e.g. connection to caring adults,
employment, education, independence)
Policy Level -What systems need to be involved?
(e.g., Housing, Vocational Rehabilitation,
Employment Services, Mental Health and Substance
Abuse, Medicaid, Schools, Community Colleges
/Universities, Physical Health, Juvenile Justice,
Child Welfare) -What dollars/resources do they
control?
Management Level -How do we create a locus of
system management accountability for this
population? (e.g., in-house, lead community
agency)
Frontline Practice Level -Are there
evidence-based/promising approaches targeted to
this population? (e.g., Family Finding) -What
training do we need to provide and for whom to
create desired attitudes, knowledge, skills about
this population?-What providers know this
population best in our community? (e.g.,
culturally diverse providers)
Community Level -What are the partnerships we
need to build with youth and families? -How can
natural helpers in the community play a role?-How
do we create larger community buy-in?-What can we
put in place to provide opportunities for youth
to contribute and feel a part of the larger
community? --What does out system look like for
this population?

Effectiveness Research(Burns Hoagwood, 2002)
  • Most evidence of efficacy Intensive case
    management, in-home services, therapeutic foster
    care
  • Less evidence (because not much research done)
    Crisis services, respite, mentoring, family
    education and support
  • Least evidence (and lots of research) Inpatient,
    residential treatment, therapeutic group home

Youth. New York Oxford University Press
45
Shared Characteristics of Evidence-Based (and
Promising) Interventions
  • Function as service components within systems of
    care
  • Provided in the community
  • Utilize natural supports, partner with parents,
    with training and supervision provided by those
    with formal training
  • Operate under the auspices of all child-serving
    systems, not just child welfare
  • Studied in the field with real world children
    and families
  • Less expensive than institutional care (e.g.,
    residential treatment, hospitals) (when the full
    continuum is in place)

3 Lessons in Values
  • People come with established values
  • These values are constantly tested by situations
    that arise
  • These values and the news ones formed are
    constantly shaped by the situations that play out

Truisms About Structure
  • Certain functions must be structured and not left
    to happenstance
  • Structures need to be evaluated and modified if
    necessary over time
  • New structures replace existing ones some
    existing ones are worth keeping some are more
    difficult to replace than others
  • There are no perfect or correct structures

    achieve.
  • Develop a common language so all partners can
    have a common understanding of terms (i.e.,
    family involvement, culturally competent
    services.
  • Respect the knowledge and experience each person
    brings.
  • Assume the best intentions of all partners.
  • Recognize strengths, limitations, and needs and
    identify ways to maximize participation of each
    partner.
  • Honor all voices by respectfully listening to
    each partner and attending to the issues they
    raise.
  • Share decision making, risk taking and
    accountability so that risks are taken as a team
    and the entire team is accountable for achieving
    the goals.

American Humane Association Ethical Standards
Families should have a meaningful role at both
the case level in assessing, planning and
evaluating their own needs and services and the
systems level in setting eligibility criteria,
determining service offerings, selecting managed
care intermediaries and providers, etc. This will
require training and support for families.
American Humane Association. 1997. Ethical
standards for the implementation of managed care
in child welfare.
68
Issue of Court-Involved Families
It is important to address the issue of court
involvement, which makes services involuntary for
many families and thus affects their desire and
legal ability to choose services. There is
more danger of under-service (in child welfare)
than in other systemsbecause child welfare
clients are unlikely to advocate on their own
behalf for services. Families may be fully
capable, physically and mentally, to make good
choices about what services and what particular
providers could be of most assistance to them,
but because of court involvement, these families
may not be permitted to exercise any choices. The
challenge for family-drivenservice models is to
bring judicial stakeholders into the discussion
of how much choice a particular family should
have, given the circumstances of the courts
involvement.

welfare system. American Humane Association

70
Issue of Families Lacking Capacity to Partner
Critics argue that family-driven systems have
greater potential than traditional approaches for
exploitation or ill-informed decision- making by
families. While it is true that some families
may be limited in their ability to manage their
own resources, the difficulty some may have in
making decisions is no justification for
circumscribing the decision-making authority of
all participants. Indeed, there will be some
families who, because of legal involvement and
safety issues, will not have the option
of controlling service decisions. However, many
families are quite capable of making (or learning
to make) key decisions concerning their lives,
and systems must be structured to promote and to
support such capability from the start.

Disproportionality in Child Welfare
  • all states have a disproportionate
    representation of African American children in
    foster care. As of 2000, the child welfare system
    in 16 states had extreme rates of
    disproportionality that were more than three and
    one-half times the proportion of children in
    color in the states total child population.
  • Robert B. Hill, Overrepresentation of Children of
    Color in Foster Care in 2000 Revised Working
    Paper, March 2005

    Native Americans, this group can constitute
    between 15 to 65 of the children in foster
    care.
  • Casey Family Programs, Framework for Change

    of child population, but 52 of child welfare
    cases).

Outcomes When the racial disparity work began in
2002, African American families reported to the
Wake County Human Services Hotline were slightly
more likely to be substantiated for maltreatment
than Caucasian families. By 2004, the
substantiation rate had been reversed. African
American families were being substantiated less
often (22) than Caucasian families (26) the
percentage of African American children entering
foster care is decreasing as is the overall
percentage of Wake Countys African American
foster children. (Although the disproportionality
rate continues to be high with respect to the
percentage of African American children in the
total population, progress is occurring.)

Cultural Competence Continuum
Cultural competence is a developmental process
that evolves over an extended period. Individuals
and organizations are at various levels of
awareness, knowledge and skills along the
cultural competence continuum. (NCCC adapted from
Cross et al., 1989)
Cross, T., Bazron,B., Dennis, K., Isaacs, M.
(1989) Towards a culturally competent system of
care Vol. 1,.
88
Culturally Competent Organizations
  • Cultural competence requires that organizations
  • have a defined set of values and principles, and
    demonstrate behaviors, attitudes, policies and
    structures that enable them to work effectively
    cross-culturally.
  • have the capacity to (1) value diversity, (2)
    conduct self-assessment, (3) manage the dynamics
    of difference, (4) acquire and institutionalize
    cultural knowledge and (5) adapt to diversity and
    the cultural contexts of the communities they
    serve.
  • incorporate the above in all aspects of policy
    making, administration, practice, service
    delivery and involve systematically consumers,
    key stakeholders and communities.

Cultural and Linguistic Competence Definitions
A Definition of Cultural Competence
Culture competence is accepting and respecting
diversity and difference in a continuous process
of self assessment and reflection on ones
personal (and organizational) perceptions of the
dynamics of culture.
A Definition of Linguistic Competence
Linguistic competence is the capacity of an
organization and its personnel to communicate
effectively and convey information in a way that
is easily understood by diverse audiences,
including persons of limited English proficiency,
those who have low literacy skills or are not
literate, and individuals with disabilities.

    about current policies, plans and workgroups
    (i.e., CFSR plan, PIP workgroups).
  • Have involved family/youth leaders engage other
    families/youth to be involved.
  • Provide on-going mentorship/support (i.e., Family
    Service Workers engage youth/family to become
    involved in planning).

    food.
  • Conduct facilitated sessions for planning group
    to explore attitudes about race, culture,
    families and youth.
  • Publicly acknowledge the contributions of
    individual families and youth.
