Family Centered Engagement

ND Family Centered Engagement Referral Worker Training

Family Centered Engagement Meetings are a facilitated team process that include participation from parents, extended family, children/youth, services providers, child welfare staff, and juvenile court staff to make critical decisions regarding the safety and well-being of the child/youth to achieve the safest and least restrictive outcomes that are in the best interest of the child/youth.

 The three overarching goals of FCE are to:

  1. Reduce the number of children entering foster care (this includes keeping the Dual status youth from going deeper into the juvenile justice system)
  2. Increase the number of children remaining safely in their own homes, and
  3. For children who are removed, to increase the number who are placed with relatives/kin.

After this training, viewers will leave with an understanding of:

  • The GOAL of Family Centered Engagment (FCE)
  • Eligible children/youth and the timelines for submitting referrals
  • Understanding your role during FCE meetings
  • What happens during FCE meetings and the key decisions made
  • What happens after the meeting
