Course Description:
Building off of the FAR Process and Practice training that county staff receive during their implementation of the FAR approach, this one-day training is intended to orient child protection staff on the core principles, values, and practices of solution-focused practice in child welfare, as well as how this practice aligns with FAR. This training will prepare caseworkers and supervisors for engaging families in a solution-focused approach within casework practice, particularly a family assessment response.

- The participant is aware of how to use solution-focused practice within his or her casework practice with children and families.
- The participant knows the process and techniques for solution-building with children and families.
