This workshop describes characteristics and service patterns of children in the child protection system based on an analysis of Florida's administrative data. Identify risk factors for initial entry and reentry into the child protection system and view a computer simulation model that illustrates children's patterns of service use over time. Destiny is an innovative collaboration between Alameda County and three community-based child and family service agencies. Title IV-E monies, traditionally categorically restricted, are used flexibly to provide creative services and supports. Emphasis is on honoring and building child and family strengths in their own communities.
Services are individualized, comprehensive, and outcomes based.
This presentation describes the methodological issues, analysis of data, and utilization of findings from a comprehensive evaluation of Pennsylvania's Competency-Based Training and Certification Program, conducted by the American Humane Association.
