Kinship care can achieve positive outcomes for children involved in the child welfare system.
This introduction provides an Executive Overview of Kinship Process Mapping: A Guide to Improving Practice in Kinship Care. The overview is intended to educate decision makers in public child welfare agencies about the kinship process mapping tool and how it can help them identify barriers to and make improvements in their kinship systems.
Kinship process mapping can be completed in approximately eight weeks, at which point the agency will have a concrete set of recommendations for improving the kinship system.
