  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Family Group Conferencing Practice Author: Rodgers, Angela, Cahn, Katharine Year: 2010 Oregon has long been known as a site for innovative family engagement practice. Multiple forms of family meetings have been implemented in Oregon over the years and many child welfare offices use some form of intensive efforts to find family for children in care. Beginning in the Fall 2012 and over the next three years, Oregon implemented a federally funded (Children's Bureau) demonstration project, Family Connections Oregon, to test a model intervention, to develop a supportive infrastructure for sustaining family connections practice, and to establish a family voice association at the policy level. These practices are continuing in Oregon through a IV-E waiver demonstration project called Leveraging Intensive Family Engagement (LIFE).

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Research-to-Practice Brief: Promising Evidence that Early Head Start Can Prevent Child Maltreatment Author: Chazan-Cohen, Rachel, Green, Beth L., Ayoub, Catherine, Bartlett, Jessica Dym, Von Ende, Adam, Furrer, Carrie Jeanne Year: 2015 This brief addresses two main questions in a sample of Early Head Start eligible children: 1) the number and type of maltreatment episodes and 2) the impact of Early Head Start on child and family involvement in the child welfare system. These findings are especially important given the lack of scalable and effective preventive interventions. In addition, they are also timely given the recent interest in fostering collaborations between early care and education programs and child welfare agencies, agencies responsible for overseeing child protection from maltreatment (OHS & ACYF, 2010; ACYF & OHS, 2011; ACYF & OCC, 2011). The current study represents a first look at the impact of Early Head Start on child maltreatment. We are continuing to collect data and will have more information in the upcoming years.
