Family Matters: Navigating the Child Welfare System - OFSN Training
2023-09-19 11:00 - 13:00 | OR, United States
Presented by OFSN
Tuesday, September 19th, 2023, from 11am to 1pm PDT
Family Matters: Navigating the Child Welfare System – Webinar
Who: Parents and caregivers navigating the child welfare system.
What: We will discuss strategies for working with the system to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and families.
When: Tuesday, September 19th, 2023, from 11am to 1pm PDT
Where: This is an online event.
In its own words, the child welfare system is a group of services designed to promote the wellbeing of children by ensuring safety, achieving permanency, and strengthening families to care for their children successfully. To the families with whom it intersects, “the system” may feel large, threatening, and not always supportive. In this training we will develop a mutual understanding of purpose, roles, responsibilities, and lived experiences. We will discuss strategies for working with the system to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and families.

Family Advocates Making a Difference (Online)
2023-09-20 16:00 - 18:00 | OR, United States
Presented by OFSN
Family engagement is integral to policy, system planning, and service design, delivery, and evaluation. The lived experience of family members, caregivers, and peers is a form of specialized expertise. When it is considered in collaboration with the expertise of system partners, service quality improves. Family representatives have a vital role to play as members of advisory boards, committees, and councils and it is important to feel confident and well-resourced in this work.
This FREE training will provide information, tools, strategies, and support for family members, caregivers, and peers who are serving as advocates in elevating the family voice.
Join us on Wednesday, September 20th, 2023 from 4pm to 6pm
