PRE-LEARNING COMMUNITY SESSION

Promising Practices for Engaging Kinship Families

Four Kinship Navigator Programs will describe different promising practices to engage with formal and informal kinship families such as: innovative ways to explain the foster parent licensing process to caregivers; how online platforms can be used to assist caregivers; how an interdisciplinary team process model can be used to provide wraparound services to kinship caregivers; and how to build an effective referral and collaborative system with the child welfare agency. Presenters will engage session participants in a discussion of best practices in navigator service delivery.
