Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence
At the Alliance, we deliver training that matters so that workforce professionals can achieve mastery in their critical work with vulnerable children and families. We focus on quality, and we are showing results. In 2016, our average rating from classroom participants was an impressive 4.5 out of 5.
We now offer more than 125 training classes and customized coaching sessions to social service specialists, their supervisors and child welfare administrators at training sites across the state—a 12-fold increase in training opportunities under our leadership.
Additionally, we've expanded training and education for our state-supported caregivers who play a crucial role in the lives of children in foster care. Despite these gains, we continuously strive for improvement. We are using the latest in data-driven scientific tools to measure the relevance, design and impact of our training so that we can build one of the best welfare workforce training systems in the nation.
Relational Mentor Training
Kitsap Strong and XParenting are seeking interested individuals (natural supports in the lives of our youth/children) to participate in a two-day virtual training and subsequent Community of Practice (CoP). This experience is designed to empower participants with the skills and confidence to help children cope with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic and social isolation. We believe every person can flourish when they have the support of caring and competent adults. Excellent candidates for this FREE training opportunity include any/all “caring adults” who have relationships with children and are natural mentors (formal or informal) - youth leaders, coaches, scout leaders, faith & activity leaders, aunties/uncles, neighbors, and grandparents.
