Specifications include, but are not limited to: Community Alignment The project seeks consultation to Human Services leadership and direct education to various community partners. The goal is to align philosophy and approaches to serving children, youth and their families within and atrisk of entering the child welfare system. This would include activities like: • Presenting to child welfare system partners topics such as the child welfare change movement and impacts of out-of-home care. • Providing leadership coaching for a select number of Human Services supervisors. • Providing consultation for Human Services managers and supervisors on how to most successfully bring our community in alignment with recent child welfare reforms Intensive Permanency Services This project seeks consultation on implementing an Intensive Permanency Services (IPS) model at La Crosse County Human Services. Intensive Permanency Services work by having a trained worker guide the youth through a process to heal from what has happened to them. Another aspect that is important to us is bringing in community partners to collaborate with this model. Outcomes expected would be: • Provide a foundational understanding of the IPS model for leaders and staff. • Provide an understanding of how to support and sustain individual and organizational resilience. • Assist in improving outcomes for youth by troubleshooting interventions, developing team expertise and developing resources that promote sustainability. • Provide coaching to leaders to increase the capacity to troubleshoot the difficult cases and sustain the model.
