Date:  September 28th, 2021

Speakers:

• Ken DeCerchio (CCFF), Terri Tobin (AHP)

Description:  This webinar shares key lessons and outcomes from the National Quality Improvement Center for Collaborative Community Court Teams’ (QIC-CCCT) engagement with 14 collaborative court teams. Over the last three years, QIC-CCCT demonstration sites worked intensively to design, implement, and test approaches to support infants with prenatal substance exposure and their parents or caregivers affected by substance use disorders. This webinar features the results of this work, including the role of collaborative court teams in implementing Plans of Safe Care, supporting mothers and families during pregnancy, preventing family separation and child welfare involvement, and improving cross-system collaboration in their communities. Presenters provide an overview of the cross-site evaluation approach and share evaluation findings and key program outcomes.
