Project Description
Subject Summary, July 2009
Author: Priscilla Gibson
Thirty-five kinship cases were reviewed in Ramsey County’s Human Service Department to assess factors that workers encounter during service delivery. Four themes emerged as pervasive with kinship families: (a) placement disruptions, (b) children needing special services, (c) characteristics of biological parents and (d) supportive services to caregivers.

CASCW’s subject summaries were developed by affiliated faculty within the School of Social Work from 2004–2010. Child welfare-relevant evaluation findings, which include current policies and practices affecting Title IV-E eligible families and children, are incorporated into these supplemental training materials.
Each Subject Summary contains features such as discussion questions, selected references, additional resources, suggested guest speakers and a PowerPoint presentation.
