Panel Discussion on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare: Improving Systems Through Collaboration

The National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare (NCSACW) upcoming panel discussion highlights the lessons and successes of change implementation.

Join this facilitated discussion to ask questions and network with other tribes, states, and communities.

Catalysts for change exist at all levels of social service, health, and court systems—from state-level leaders to local agency directors. Sustaining practice and policy changes require local implementation efforts that in turn rely on state support.

The panel will examine how sustaining system-level change: 1) maximizes implementation efforts, and 2) ensures programs remain effectively and equitably delivered and sustained—from the top down and bottom up. These lessons stem from specialized technical assistance programs: In-Depth Technical Assistance (IDTA) and Regional Partnership Grant (RPG).

Learning objectives include:

• Understand how to make change at the local and state levels
• Identify practice-level strategies necessary to create systems-level change
• Build collaborative capacity with partner agencies and systems
• Engage strong leadership to assure collaboratives develop mutually defined goals, make lasting practice changes, and mitigate systemic barriers to improve outcomes for children and families
