The Family Support Scales may still be applicable. An assessment of strengths and needs of the child and family in different life domains and the outcomes which have been developed for the child and family must all be considered before services can be identified. Pool funds may be used if the purchase is on a child specific basis. This matches scores on the Levels of Needs Chart. If you schedule a trainer on your own please ask to see their certificate or call the Office of Comprehensive Services to verify trainer certification.
Localities have flexibility in how they want to manage the training.
Preparation time about 3 hours. This will take about 8 hours. Between sessions participants will review training manual and complete remaining vignettes. HINT - when ordering training manuals, order some supplemental vignettes so they will be available at the training session. It is the responsibility of the trainer to provide to their local contact some type of documentation of who has successfully completed the certification process and the date of the training.
