Collaborative Values Inventory
The Collaborative Values Inventory is a questionnaire to be completed by cross-disciplinary teams of professionals who are seeking a better understanding of the values that guide different disciplines and systems. After completing the questionnaire anonymously, it is helpful to have the items scored and then a formal meeting(s) to discuss the similarities and differences across systems. The intent of the questionnaire is to assist community members and professional staff in developing common principles for their work together.

Collaborative Capacity Instrument
The Collaborative Capacity Instrument was developed by CFF staff to be used as a self-assessment by County (and/or State) alcohol and other drug (AOD) service and child welfare service (CWS) agencies who are preparing to work with each other or who may be seeking to move to a new level of cooperation after some initial efforts. The questions were designed to elicit discussion among and within both sets of agencies about their readiness for closer work with each other.

Matrix of Progress
This framework describes ten elements on which to measure the capacity of agencies to work as partners on the substance abuse needs of CWS clients. This document is included in the Technical Assistance Publication (TAP) published by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment. Agencies may be assessed for their capacity to build these partnerships by utilizing the Collaborative Capacity Instrument.
