Episode 26: From Fake Help to Real Support in Foster Care and the Family & Child Welfare

from Navigating Child Welfare | CPS, Foster Care, Family Court, Adoption, Mandated Reporter · host Shanelle Dupree

Sometimes our help looks good on paper but doesn’t help in practice. In this episode, Shanelle names “fake help,” shows how to co-create real solutions with the people affected, and explains where 360° Family and Child Welfare Workshops solves a specific problem by strengthening partnerships and prepares a community for service in the family and child welfare system. You will learn: What “fake help” is and how to stop creating extra work for families and staff. Three common blockers: fixing problems without the people affected, over-engineering solutions, and over-automating connection. The 360º Workshop unlocks progress within family and child welfare agencies to solve a concrete cross-agency issue, rebuild working relationships, or to prepare partners for new responsibilities or projects.   Take the SYNCing Child Welfare 360º Assessment today to partner effectively: www.syncingchildwelfare.com & follow up with a workshop for your organization!
