Collaborative Case Consultation Tools
 

Cross agency consultation enables agencies to support families in a more comprehensive way that reduces duplication of services and leverages the wide range of services and resources they each have to offer. Agency staff members who are new to the collaborative case consultation process will find these simulations and case studies useful for learning about the opportunities and challenges that develop when agencies look to collaborate on programs and support. The first simulation was designed to include non-traditional social service partners, while the case studies address the partner relationship between such groups as law enforcement and community development organizations.

The goal of these exercises is to help participants learn to understand and appreciate the distinctive resources that diverse partners can each bring to solving a family situation. It’s not unusual for a simulation to get off to a slow start. Give participants time to "own" their roles. When debriefing, focus on some of the issues related to having diverse agencies in the room. Which partners were easy to work with? Which were more difficult? Why? Use these debriefings to identify areas requiring further staff development or discussion. More>> [PDF, 1 MB]
