Colorado's Practice Initative Toolkit
|
|
The Colorado Practice Initiative is an effort to develop a clear, consistent and cohesive approach to practice and service delivery.

The Division of Child Welfare Services with the assistance of the Mountain and Plains Child Welfare Implementation Center (MPCWIC) is proud to introduce the Colorado Practice Initiative (CPI). Colorado is committed to achieving positive outcomes for children and their families involved with the child welfare system. The Colorado Practice Initiative is an effort to develop a clear, consistent and cohesive approach to practice and service delivery. This framework will be designed and developed collaboratively with child welfare staff and stakeholders across the state. To support Colorado on this journey, the Mountains and Plains Child Welfare Implementation Center is supporting a three-year implementation project, which will explore and define a Colorado practice model and implement specific practice strategies that are directed towards improved outcomes for children and families.

-
Project Executive Oversight Committee
