This course is designed to prepare experienced child welfare professionals to facilitate family partnership meetings using the principles of the Virginia Family Engagement Model. The training provides a detailed overview of each phase of the meeting and prepares facilitators to build teams, direct the meeting process, resolve differences, and develop consensus. CWS 4030 will be presented as a four day, two part classroom training. Participants will complete three consecutive days of interactive training and then return to their agencies to practice facilitation and/or develop local meeting implementation plans. On the final day of training, one month later, participants will review their progress, receive feedback, and explore ways to address common challenges.
