March is also National Social Work Awareness Month! Child welfare professionals are critical social work partners in every community! To ensure children and families requiring extra support to be safe and to keep families together, the Safe Babies Court Team (SBCT) approach, run by Zero to Three, can be a game changer! The SBCT puts social workers and their partners in the driver’s seat to engage and partner with families to assess and address their needs, goals and risks, and proactively promote strengths using guidelines closely aligned with national Bright Futures Guidelines for well child visits.
The Engagement In Action (EnAct!) Framework, powered by the Well Visit Planner approach, creates a path for families to safely communicate their goals, needs, and risks, ensuring a standardized, family-engaged approach in alignment with primary care doctors. The WVP approach fosters trust with families, minimizes data collection burdens, and allows for greater focus on addressing child and family needs, risks, strengths, and goals, while also connecting families to primary care and additional services.
