Part One
The Children’s Bureau (CB) hosted a webinar to share the lessons and experiences of two jurisdictions whose Title IV-E Prevention Plans received approval from CB. The webinar’s intent was to provide child welfare leaders and their partners with perspectives, tips, and guidance on developing and implementing prevention plans to support their unique needs while taking advantage of the provisions within the Family First Prevention Services Act (Family First).
The webinar, “Title IV-E Prevention Plan Implementation Updates,” only allowed 500 participants to join. These podcasts allow those who were not able to participate to listen in. In “Family First – Title IV-E Prevention Plan Implementation Updates – Part 1,” leaders from two jurisdictions—Washington, DC and Utah—speak about their different approaches to implementing Family First. Part 2 provides the audio from the second half of the webinar, where tips and guidance from CB are presented and the child welfare leaders from Washington, DC and Utah answer questions from webinar attendees.
