NRC Director Dr. Miriam Landsman and Training Director Lisa D’Aunno presented at the international conference, Effective Strategies for Working with Involuntary Clients, held May 23-25, 2018 in Prato, Italy. Their workshop, Child Welfare Supervision as a Key Strategy for Providing Effective Involuntary Services, based was on the National Resource Center’s extensive experience with developing, implementing, and evaluating training for supervisors of child welfare and family support programs. This workshop focused on three key aspects of child welfare supervision that are especially vital for involuntary services: 1) strengthening workers’ engagement with families; 2) supervising from a trauma-informed practice lens; and 3) supervising for social justice.
