Join SFNFCI in learning more about the Integrated Practice Strategy (IPS) Gems of Clarity. There are three different statements that make up the Gems of Clarity aid a worker communication concerns and goals with the families and networks with which they are working. Harm statements and worry statements are short, simple behaviour-based statements workers can use to help family members, collaterals, and departmental staff clearly understand what has happened in the past, why the agency is involved with a particular family, and what the concerns for the future are. These statements allow important, difficult conversations to occur and help ensure that staff talk with families about the most critical items to address. Goal statements are clear, simple statements about what the caregiver will do that will convince everyone the child is safe now and will be safe in the future.
During this virtual session you will have an opportunity to learn more about these Gems of Clarity and practice developing them.
