2. One effective way for case managers to support placement stability:

Support foster parents in establishing relationships with birth parents.

Tell the child this is the last option.

Tell the foster parents that if they don’t cooperate, they will not get a placement again.

Don’t share some of the challenging behaviors with the foster parents.

3. One appropriate time to consider a placement move:

When it is for the safety of the child, other children, or the foster parents

When you need the space

When the foster parents disagree with the case manager

Children should never change placements

4. What did foster parents state that they see in children after multiple moves:

All choices are correct

Very hesitant to participate in the family

Acting out because they assume they will be moved anyway

Fear of attachment or inappropriate attachment

5. The case manager shared that in her area, one way of preventing an unnecessary move is to:

Hold a placement support staffing to determine how to support the child and parents in the placement.

Give parents incentives for keeping children

Impose a 7-day notice agreement

Make daily calls to the foster parents

6. In 2017, a new law was enacted that requires a Comprehensive Placement Assessment to consider the best needs of the child. This placement assessment requires considerations for level of care that include:

All choices are correct

Children’s ties to community

Children’s relationship with siblings

Children’s involvement in community activities

7. When asked, “What do you do to stabilize the placement when a child is placed in your home”, the foster parents shared the following:

Be in communication with the birth parents and making sure the youth know you are in communication.

Limit communication with the birth parents.

Try to help the child not think about the birth parents.

Tell the child they can stay as long as they want to stay.

8. When discussing the impact of multiple placement moves on children, the foster parents shared an experience of knocking on the bedroom door of a child who had been placed with them the previous night after having experienced multiple placements that week. They shared that after knocking, the child immediately peeked out and asked:

“Can I stay here tonight”?

“What’s for breakfast”?

“Can I leave now”?

“Do I have to attend school”?

9. The results of the final poll, indicated that the most important component of making the first placement an excellent and lasting placement is

Getting youth involved in placement decision-making

Getting birth parent involved in placement decision-making

Getting case manages involved in placement decision-making

Getting licensing staff involved in placement decision-making
