Course Description:

Family preservation is a key component of those working in the child welfare profession. One of the most important things to consider in family preservation is how to advocate for clients. In this training, we will discover why advocacy for clients is important and how to use strengths-based practice to identify areas that the families are doing well and areas they may need more support and help. We will also discuss best practices for advocacy and how to build relationships with other service providers to help increase family preservation and advocate for clients. Participants will be able to practice the skills needed in advocating for clients to produce the best possible outcomes for the families. This training will utilize exercises, group discussions and visual displays.
