Summary

This project proposes to improve successful mental health service linkage in Child Welfare Services (CWS) by adapting and testing the After Action Review (AAR) team effectiveness intervention to augment the Child Family Team (CFT) services intervention. Despite being both required and a collaborative approach to service planning, CFT meetings are implemented with questionable fidelity and consistency, rarely including children and families as intended. By inclusion of child and family voice, the AAR-enhanced CFT should lead to increased fidelity to the CFT intervention and greater levels of parental satisfaction with the service and shared decision-making, thus resulting in enhanced follow-through with Action Plans and linkage to mental health care for children.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

After-Action Review

After-action reviews, or debriefs, are a relatively simple, inexpensive, and quick, tool to improve learning, performance, and the effectiveness of teams and individuals. After-action reviews are active self-learning processes wherein participants reflect on specific performance episode to actively engage in self-discovery and improve learning in a non-punitive/non-judgmental manner to result in enhanced performance. This proposal aims to apply the team effectiveness intervention of the after-action review (AAR) to the services intervention of the Child and Family Team (CFT) meetings currently used in the CWS.
