Child and Family Teaming in Dependency

This course defines Child and Family Teaming (CFT) as a collaborative, trauma-informed framework centered on the child’s safety and well-being. By utilizing the structured "Super Eight" meeting process and inclusive facilitation tools like "Fist to Five," the approach empowers families and stakeholders to reach a consensus through a strength-based, culturally responsive lens. Ultimately, the process ensures accountability through clear action planning and continuous "Plus Delta" feedback, keeping the child’s needs at the heart of every sustainable decision.
