The Child Welfare Virtual Expo 2017: Strengthening Assessment and Decision-Making for Improved Outcomes is an event dedicated to improving outcomes for children, youth, and families through strengthened assessment and decision-making. This year’s Virtual Expo highlights the critical importance of assessment and decision-making to enhancing outcomes for children and families. Sessions will cover strategies for assessing safety, conducting comprehensive assessment of parents, collaborating across systems for families with co-occurring issues, and using data effectively. Engaging presentations will feature insights from national subject matter experts, child welfare professionals and partners, parents, and youth. Two sessions are tailored for managers and administrators, and two are designed for frontline workers. Each session includes presentations and a virtual reflection activity to help you apply presentation concepts to your daily work. Following a welcome by the Capacity Building Center for States, two dynamic speakers will set the stage for the day. Donna Pence, a highly regarded investigator and trainer, will highlight the connections between assessment and decision-making processes and trauma-informed care. Oronde Miller will draw from both lived and professional experience in child welfare to underscore the impact of agency decision-making on children and family outcomes.
