Description

Originally a roundtable discussion at the Society for Social Work and Research 2022 annual conference, this presentation engaged in a dialogue detailing the experience of adaptation, installation, and initial implementation of a coaching program to strengthen the child welfare workforce and achieve better family permanency outcomes. As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, this model was also adapted from an in-person training model to full virtual implementation, resulting in both challenges and opportunities not otherwise evident.
