Casey Family Programs and the Florida Institute for Child Welfare invite you to propose a workshop presentation at the
Annual Research and Policy Conference on Child, Adolescent, and Young Adult Behavioral Health. Commonly called the “Tampa Conference”, 2020 will mark the 33rd year where more than 700 researchers, evaluators, policy makers, administrators, service providers, parents, and advocates gather to share cutting-edge research and innovative models and approaches to address behavioral health issues for children, adolescents and adults.
For the 2020 conference, we are seeking proposals that present applied research, conceptual models, and strategies that address the integration of behavioral health in child welfare. Specifically, we are interested in presentations that address the capacity to:
Strengthen cross-system understanding and professional/provider competencies and practices as they relate to treatment goals, service planning, practice models, outcome expectations and legal requirements so that child welfare and behavioral health practitioners and providers have a similar set of goals and expectations.
Provide effective treatment of behavioral health conditions, while addressing trauma, the child-parent relationship, parenting skill development, enhancing parental capacities and improving the functioning of families in the child welfare system.
Have a systematic and focused leadership model with a strategic approach to implementing and sustaining an integrated treatment model.
Better understand the demographics of the parents and children in Florida’s child welfare system and the array of services that are needed.
