This training tool was developed for professionals working in the field of child welfare by the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare (CASCW) and various collaborators.
Why Child Welfare Training in a Box®?
Child welfare workers maintain busy and demanding schedules, often making it difficult to fit in training. The Child Welfare Training in a Box® method allows us to provide you with high quality training on the go. Training that you can complete at your own pace and at your own convenience.
How does it work?
The goal is for child welfare units and teams to be able to choose relevant training material and distribute over time. Each member of a unit is encouraged to check out the box for up to one week to allow for time to watch the videos, read the practice briefs, and review the resource cards. A sign-out sheet will be provided with each kit.
After you review the training:
- Sign the box back in so another colleague can access it.
- Process the information you have learned with your colleagues. Think of any questions you had as you went through the materials.
- Share your thoughts in supervision and/or at a team meeting.
- Encourage other professionals you work with to access this information online.
Below, please find descriptions of the materials included in this training kit.
