Listening sessions for supervisors
Agency supervisors involved in implementing Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) are encouraged to attend an upcoming regional listening session by geographic area in early 2022. Join your designated session listed below if you supervise staff working in child welfare, child protection, children’s mental health, developmental disabilities, and/or waivered services such as community access for disability inclusion (CADI).
These listening sessions, hosted by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (department) will focus on how FFPSA transforms residential services practice. Transformations seldom go smoothly. The goal of these sessions is for department staff to listen and learn/understand agency experiences in the first few months of FFPSA residential services implementation. Department staff is looking for effective ways to form meaningful partnerships with agency staff to support transformation in your agency’s practice when placing children/youth in residential placements.
Meetings are online over zoom. It is requested that supervisors register by their region, allowing for regional differences and understanding. A Minnesota map of regions is here. To register, select the appropriate date below.
