Consultation

Family Design Resources’ consultation services are outcome driven. We will work with you to develop the desired outcomes and then collaboratively agree to the plan to reach them.

FDR has extensive consultation experience in both child welfare and education. We currently have contracts in Pennsylvania, California and New Hampshire. Our program management strategy has been shared with agencies and organizations in Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Connecticut and Arizona. We are also a consultant to Spaulding for Children, a national resource center with adoption expertise.

Our consultative services include:

• Legal partnerships that reduce legal barriers within the child welfare system
• Networks that build consistency and collaborative partnerships
• Helpline support that will create or help you effectively manage your telephone resources
• Meeting Management that delivers and plans effective meetings and training
• Statewide collaboration to implement strategies and techniques within state barriers
• Resource Maximization to ensure resources are managed effectively for fiscal accountability while also achieving desired outcomes
• Shared Leadership to ensure the engaging in and empowering of system change
• Diversity and Cultural Awareness that truly embraces differences to accomplish a shared vision

Currently, FDR is supporting work in California through the Permanency for Youth Project and in New Hampshire in the regional development of permanency services.
