Promoting peer support and engagement in child welfare using communities of practice and virtual communities of practice
Peer support and engagement play critical roles in reducing adverse outcomes in the child welfare workforce, such as burnout and secondary trauma. Reducing such outcomes may have broader impacts on the child welfare workforce. Communities of practice (CoP) and virtual communities of practice (VCoP) are two types of peer communities that help promote peer support, engagement, and needed information, but there is limited literature on their use in …
A review of the literature on capacity building service strategies in child welfare
Incorporating multiple data sources to assess changes in organizational capacity in child welfare systems
Connecting technical assistance to implementation progress in child welfare capacity building efforts
Child welfare jurisdictions implement practices designed to improve child outcomes. Three federally funded Child Welfare Capacity Building Centers provide technical assistance (TA) to jurisdictions to support implementation of practice improvements. The aim of this study was to understand implementation progress among jurisdictions served by the Centers. Analyses indicate (1) amount of TA was positively associated with achievement of implementati…
Child Welfare Practice Improvement Efforts
The staff practices and organizational processes of child welfare agencies and courts influence families’ experiences and outcomes. Capacity building services have been delivered to improve organizational performance and practices, but studies of their impact are hampered by a lack of data on specific features of services. This study describes services delivered by the Child Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative during 2017–2019 using data from…
Children prenatally exposed to alcohol and other drugs
Many parents who interact with the child welfare system present with substance use issues, which means their children are at risk for prenatal exposure to alcohol and other drugs. Because child welfare agencies play an important role in identifying and providing services to mitigate negative impacts of prenatal exposures, we conducted a search for literature addressing child welfare information sources, policies, and practices related to this pop…
Keys to Implementation of Child Welfare Systems Change Initiatives
While the research base on implementation in child welfare has grown, applying implementation science to child welfare system change is still relatively new. There is a gap in knowledge of what factors are most important in different implementation stages and system contexts. This study examines 12 implementation keys that support building infrastructure, developing inter-organizational networks, and addressing contextual issues in child welfare …
Development and Initial Findings of an Implementation Process Measure for Child Welfare System Change
This article describes a new measure designed to examine the process of implementation of child welfare systems change. The measure was developed to document the status of the interventions and strategies that are being implemented and the drivers that are being installed to achieve sustainable changes in systems. The measure was used in a Children’s Bureau-supported national effort to assess the ongoing implementation of 24 systems-change projec…

Development and Initial Findings of an Implementation Process Measure for Child Welfare System Change
This article describes a new measure designed to examine the process of implementation of child welfare systems change. The measure was developed to document the status of the interventions and strategies that are being implemented and the drivers that are being installed to achieve sustainable changes in systems. The measure was used in a Children’s Bureau-supported national effort to assess the ongoing implementation of 24 systems-change projec…
