SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Partners Make Better Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Partners Make Better Decisions brings together social workers and caregivers in a dynamic environment of dialogue\, small-group activities and scenario discussions. This course mimics the way the child welfare process works\, with many voices at the table\, with the goal of building understanding and relationships through finding commonality and mutual respect. \nBuilding partnerships and finding common ground with others is integral to achieving the best outcomes for children and families. When approaching decision making\, it is vital that you can work effectively with all parties involved\, and this training provides you the foundation for making that happen. \nYou will start the training by sharing and hearing from other participants about why they do the work they do\, likely finding many shared values. The training also will guide you through a conversation about communication and potential barriers and breakdown points\, with special consideration of the high stakes and complicated dynamics involved in this work. Finally\, you will learn some tools and strategies for working together and remaining focused on the “main thing\,” the interest of the child\, even when distractions or disagreements arise. \nWhen you leave the training\, you will have a new understanding of and appreciation for your partners on the child’s care team\, and a plan for communicating and working together. \nRegister at:  Partners Make Better Decisions (webinar) | Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence

SUMMARY:ALLIANCE - Kinship 101:  Information for Relatives and Suitable Others
DESCRIPTION:The financial\, legal\, and emotional issues of raising a relative’s child can be challenging. Services and support when raising a relative’s child can be a lifesaver.  Kinship caregiving in all of its forms is becoming increasingly common.  Recent WA State child welfare data (Partners for Our Children-1/1/2015)   show that 41 percent of children in out of home care are living with a relative.  Many more children are living with relatives or other close family friends informally\, without the ongoing supervision of the state’s foster care system. \nOften kinship caregivers do not access the benefits which are available to them. This class will address the issues that Kinship Caregivers struggle with most: \n\nFinancial Needs\nLegal Challenges\nNavigating public service systems\nNeeding more social services\nInformation about resources/caregiving\n\nThis 90 minute webinar is designed for licensed and unlicensed caregivers caring for children currently or previously involved in the dependency system.  Caregiver Core Training (CCT) is not a prerequisite. However\, this course is supplemental to CCT for kinship caregivers\, and can be a field experience during CCT. \nRegister at:  Kinship 101: Information for Relatives and Suitable Others (webinar) | Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence
