CFF produced the Putting Ideas Into Action: Knowledge Application Series in 2021. The series highlights the Round 2 grantees’ progress and challenges in implementing a family-centered approach. The series also provides strategies for FTC teams and stakeholders to design, implement, sustain, and evaluate systems change initiatives that advance a family-centered approach.
The Knowledge Application Series includes a brief Overview of the PFR initiative and the following series of three resources:
- Advancing a Family-Centered Approach: Lessons from the Prevention and Family Recovery Initiative updates the original nine PFR lessons published in 2017. FTC teams and stakeholders can approach the lessons as a complete package or view each one individually to focus on a specific topic. This resource, in both forms, is available here.
- Guiding Principles for Establishing a Family-Centered Approach in Family Treatment Courts and Beyond expands on Lesson 7 by outlining 10 guiding principles that help operationalize a family-centered approach. This resource also includes key questions FTC teams can discuss to assess and build their family-centered capacity.
- Data Capacity: What Is It and Does Our Family Treatment Court Team Have It? elaborates on Lesson 8 by describing how FTC teams can assess their cross-systems data capacity, use their data to improve their programs, and communicate their successes to various audiences (available September 2021).
