{"report_id":28,"form_id":"28","user_id":160,"organization_id":39,"question_id":"389","question_type":"Free_Text","text_answer":"The children experienced a placement disruption after being in a relative\/pre-adoptive home for 24 months which was influenced by the provider and child requesting a change in placement. Supporting a request for a change in placement was the availability of services, including culturally sensitive services to support children and families (i.e. transportation, mental health, etc.), coupled with the needs of the family and the children. Specifically, the services available did not match the needs of the child, including mental health and trauma related services. These services not being available for the child created additional stressors in the family environment. Additionally, in some cases, added stressors within the family and the absence of supportive services may increase the possibility of abuse and neglect occurring. When abuse and\/or neglect occurs within a family, this can influence a provider or child requesting a change in placement. Additionally, a change in the family situation also supported the provider and the child requesting a change in placement.\r\nThere was also an existence of pressure to place the sibling group with relatives, which was supported by statutory and state guidance, such as, the Best Interest Factors and the Sibling Bill of Rights. This pressure to place with relatives creates gaps in training for prospective foster care providers and also impacts staff availability to provide the training to the providers, prior to a child being placed in their home. The availability of staff to provide support to families was influenced by the time it takes to enter required data into the system (SSIS, paperwork, etc.) and confusion about who provides the support when there are multiple workers on a case, which can contribute to a placement disruption.","created_by":160,"updated_by":160,"updated_at":"4\/30\/2021 8:48:44 am","created_at":"4\/30\/2021 8:48:44 am","id":2735}
