Provides a trauma-informed continuum of integrated care for DCFS youth and their families. Child Welfare Services (CWS): - CWS helps make sure the home is a safe place for the child, answers questions to help parents and caregivers feel more confident, and helps find support and services for families within the community. Clinical Intervention for Placement Preservation (CIPP): - CIPP is a step-by-step way of making choices about where a foster child will live. - Brings together the youth's caseworker and key people in the youth's life. - A trained facilitator leads a discussion process that is sensitive to the motivation and capacities of the youth. - Participants are encouraged to offer their assessment of the youth's wishes, needs, and strengths to generate ideas on how those needs can be best addressed, ideally in the youth's current home. Discharge-Clinical Intervention for Placement Preservation (D-CIPP): - D-CIPP is a step-by-step way of planning for when a foster youth ages out of the DCFS system. - Helps youth create a detailed plan to meet their top 2 or 3 goals toward moving out of the DCFS or child welfare system. - Ensures there is a plan for the youth to be in their final living arrangement before their discharge date. - Ensures youth's connections to family, community and social supports are nurtured and maintained. - Helps youth create and begin progression toward educational and/or employment plans before their discharge date. - Ensures youth are working toward financial stability before their discharge date
