I echo the sentiments shared here. Service Management Solution services for Children is about to embark on this journey. We have been trained through the Karyn Purvis Institute in Texas, using Trust Based Relational Intervention. I manage the training for the Child Protection Investigators with the Department of Children and Families as well as the training for Case Managers. It is a daunting task. We plan to eat this elephant one bite at a time. The TBRI training will be required after Pre-service training of CMs/ Investigators and it will be included after the Foster/Adoptive Parent Training.
We also plan to build capacity for implementation using identified coaches. Coaches will be available to foster/adoptive parents during emergencies and to better implement the strategies learned during the course.
Coaches will be identified in both the foster parent and child welfare professional roles.
We also plan to transform our physical space so that it is trauma informed. Spaces include our entry space, visitation rooms and offices.
We are looking at ways to measure success. Stay Tuned!
