| Program 1 - Family Search and Engagement (FSE). In 2015 the Waiting Child Fund worked closely with 3 Ohio Counties to help them implement Family Search and Engagement at their agencies. This work focuses on helping to find, engage, partner with, and support blood and non-blood relatives of children who experience foster care. The following description outlines the work being done at Fairfield, Stark, and Cuyahoga County. Fairfield County Protective Services has identified the opportunity to increase the safety, permanency, and well-being outcomes achieved for their children and families through the increased use of a Family Search and Engagement (FSE) at the Intake level of the agency. The Waiting Child Fund is working with Fairfield County to 1) assist with the planning and development process, 2) provide coaching services to key leadership team members, 3) develop and provide training, and 4) integrate and imbed FSE work at the agency through skill development. The Waiting Child Fund is partnering with Stark County Job and Family Services to develop and implement an agency-wide FSE program implementation. Utilizing Appreciative Inquiry, our approach focuses on the fundamental question "When are we at our best?" rather than "What is the problem?" This method is helping staff to identify individual and organizational strengths as a foundation for improvement. Together we are creating a collective sense of "what could be" as we work to achieve permanency for all children. Using the identified strengths and collective vision, we will build staff capacity through training, coaching, and teaming activities. The increased capacity to achieve permanency for children will be fully integrated through the creation of policy, procedures, and ongoing supports to sustain the work beyond the scope of the proposed partnership. Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services (CCDCFS), specifically the Youth Permanency Transition Team Units, have identified the opportunity to increase the permanency and family connections outcomes for their older youth historically served by the Independent Living Unit. They are partnering with the Waiting Child Fund to achieve these outcomes through the increased use of a Family Search and Engagement (FSE). The Waiting Child Fund is working with CCDCFS to 1) assist with the development process, 2) provide coaching services during development, 3) develop and provide training, and 4) integrate and embed FSE work at the agency through skill development | $0 | $47,201 |
| Program #2 - Permanency Training Through an ongoing partnership with the Institute for Human Services (IHS) and the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the Waiting Child Fund offers ongoing FSE training and coaching services. These training and coaching tools were delivered at 5 of the 8 regional training centers in Ohio in 2015. In addition, the Waiting Child Fund works as a partner in the implementation process of the Casey Family Program's Permanency Roundtable program. As a member of the Statewide Advisory Council, trainers and coaches, and External Permanency Consultants the Waiting Child Fund helps the 11 pilot counties with the strategic, tactical, and case-level practice of implementing the model. Permanency Roundtables (PRT) are professional case consultations that provide support to the caseworkers while taking a comprehensive look at the child's situation and seeking to bust barriers in order to attain legal permanency and increase permanent connections for the child. The 3 goals of each PRT are to: (1) expedite legal permanency for the child, (2) stimulate thinking and learning about ways to accelerate permanency, and (3) identify and address systemic barriers to timely permanency. During each PRT the following questions are asked: (1) What will it take for this child to achieve permanency? (2) What can we do that has been tried successfully before? (3) What can we do that has never been tried? (4) What can we do concurrently to help this child achieve permanency? and (5) How can we engage the child in permanency planning? Through implementing the PRT model in Ohio, we expect to see improvements: in the short term, less restrictive living environments for the children, and in the long term, more children moving to permanency before they age out of the system. The project also seeks to address racial disproportionality in child welfare. Just as important, the project supports the ongoing philosophical shift in Ohio to ensure that every child attains permanent connections - whether it be successful reunification with a birth family, permanent placement with kin, or adoption - before having to emancipate. The emphasis on instilling the values of permanency not just in agency staff but also in judicial partners, providers, and foster caregivers is designed to bring together multiple systems in support of permanency for Ohio youth. | $0 | $21,915 |
| Program #3 - Family Finding Convening - The Family Finding Convening 2.0 was held on November 10th in Columbus, Ohio. The day was designed as a learning and engagement opportunity for administrative and management level representatives from county child welfare organizations, ODJFS, private providers, funding organizations, the judicial community, university social work departments, mental health organization, family finding programs, and Permanency Roundtable pilot counties. The day focused on learning from existing models and holding strategic conversation to move the practice of authentic family-centered engagement forward in Ohio. Key Partners are Waiting Child Fund, National Institute for Permanent Family Connectedness, Seneca Family of Agencies, Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies (OACCA), Family and Youth Law Center, Capital University Law School, Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services, Fairfield County Job and Family Services, Franklin County Children Services, Advocates for Families First, Kevin Campbell, Family Finding Model Author, Casey Family Programs ,Caring For Kids, The Village Network, Summit County Children Services.
