This curriculum, developed by the Oregon Regional Facilitation Center, is designed to cover ten best practices for peers who work in the child welfare field. These practices include establishing a connection with parents; supporting positive engagement in services; supporting compliance with child welfare; promoting self-efficacy; inspiring hope and serving as reunification role model; person-centered, trauma-informed services that evoke individual needs, objectives, and goals; advocating for patents with child welfare; guiding development of supportive relationships; guiding and teaching system navigation; and regulations, ethical conduct, and peer boundaries.
Funding for this initiative was made possible by grant no. 1H79TI083022 from SAMHSA.
