“Child and family services spaulding for children kept children from entering foster care by teaching and supporting 36 parents to safely care for them in their homes. We provided foster care services to 159 children, licensed 11 new foster homes, placed 58 children who were entering foster care. Child and family services supported and empowered 9 families to overcome their challenges and eliminated safety concerns so that their children could be safely reunited with them. We found permanent families for 28 children and youth who needed one; they are now thriving in the care of their adoptive families. As of september 30, 2019, we were placing youth in 40 different foster homes in hopes to build stronger families and communities. We also matched 12 children awaiting adoption with prospective families and renewed the agency's child placing agency.”

“The academy/spaulding institute the academy finished a five-year cooperative agreement which culminated with a three-day national meeting in washington d.c. To highlight all of the lessons learned. All eight sites that participated in the project were successfully able to implement an intervention into their permanency continuum and have an evaluation conducted. The minority professional development program graduated the first cohort of fellows. Fifteen fellows from across the country completed an 8-month long fellowship that included courses on transformational leadership, policy, practice and research as well as an action research project that identified a challenge in their local child welfare site. The national training and development curriculum for foster and adoptive parents worked to finalize a national curriculum for prospective foster and adoptive parents. Theatre testing of components of the curriculum was conducted during the year. Eight sites were selected and on-boarded so that they can pilot the curriculum starting in march 2020. We also utilized the hospital-based adoption services (h- bass) which helped ensure pregnant women who wished to place a child for adoption have access to well-trained staff and comprehensive support in the hospital setting throughout the process. The understanding infant adoption training curriculum helped build and develop the capacity of 3,699 individuals in approximately 1,850 hospitals in 31 states. Critical on-going resource family education (core-teen) serves as a state-of-the-art training program to equip resource parents to meet the needs of older youth who have moderate to severe emotional and behavioral challenges. The core-teen team trained caregivers in florida, tennessee, pennsylvania, the eastern band of cherokee, and north carolina. Throughout this process we trained over 3,000 hospital-based staff on adoption issues.”
