Expectations and Target Audience
Each month, a short video with a worksheet will be posted to the WCWPDS website. The worksheet will ask you to reflect on what you have learned from the video and develop an action plan to put the knowledge and skills into practice. A one-hour facilitated discussion will be held on the last Tuesday (3:00 pm – 4:00 pm) and Wednesday (8:30 am – 9:30 am) of each month (February – December 2025) to answer questions and gather tips from colleagues. You need only attend one of the discussion sessions per month.
Target Audience
The 2025 Learning Collaborative is best suited for Child Protective Services Staff, Service Providers, and Tribal Partners from all counties who are part of the creation, implementation, or management of assessment and safety plans actively ensuring children are protected from severe harm.
