Presented by Presented by Kevin King, MA

 

Integrated Core Practice Model (ICPM) Competency: Foundation & Engagement & Assessment & Teaming & Service Planning/Delivery & Transition

This training course is designed specifically for child welfare professionals, including clinicians and nurses working with youth in care, to gain a deep understanding of the California Integrated Core Practice Model for Children, Youth, and Families. The course offers a thorough exploration of the history, role, and implementation of the Core Practice Model, alongside the latest Interim Licensing Standards. Grounded in well-established psychological principles and research-based evidence such as Evidence-based practice in child and adolescent therapy: A comprehensive review, by Mckay & Fazio (2020), this course emphasizes how the California Core Practice Model provides practical guidance and direction to support county, child welfare, juvenile probation, behavioral health agencies and their partners in delivering timely, effective and collaborative services to children, youth, and families. Participants will learn how the model’s core components align with current theoretical approaches and enhance therapeutic practices in clinical settings to support positive outcomes for youth in congregate settings.
