Abstract

The State of Oregon was an early implementer of family-centered practices to improve child welfare outcomes by effectively engaging families so that children avoid placement or spend less time in care. Despite this promising history, statewide availability of such practices had not yet been attained. With the support of the Family Connections Grant, Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) partnered with the Child Welfare Partnership at Portland State University’s (PSU) School of Social Work to address this need.

Description

This is the Family Connections Oregon Demonstration Project: Executive Summary.

The Key Outcome Evaluation Findings, Key Process Evaluation Findings, Rationale of Core Components of Combined Model, and Continuum of Family Connections Meetings for Oregon Child Welfare Practice are included as supplemental files.
