Casework Practice With Birth Families
When children are removed from their homes and placed into out-of-home care, the first goal is to return them safely home as soon as possible. Casework practice with birth families involves assessing their strengths and needs and developing, implementing, and monitoring a case plan (also called a treatment plan or service plan) to achieve a goal of reunification. Case managers must use effective family engagement practices and will often refer families for community services to help them address and overcome the problems that led to placement.
