The purpose of this project was to create the "Strengthening Relationships between Children in Foster Care and their Parents: The Powerful Families Initiative" project. The goals are to: (a) create a program that increases the possibility of family reunification for children in foster care by engaging the children, their birth parents, their resource (foster) parents and their child welfare workers in a strength-based process known as family time; (b) improve teamwork among the parents, resource parents, and child welfare workers; and (c) identify a potential funding source. A literature search was conducted to identify accomplishments and barriers to visitation, renamed family time. A training program is described, which prepares birth parents, resource parents, and child welfare workers for family time. A detailed budget for project staffing and resources is described. The actual funding and submission of this grant proposal were not requirements for the successful completion of this project.
