QIC-EY NOW:
By walking you through a few simple steps, QIC-EY NOW will help you to validate and to deepen your child-and-youth engagement skills via audio and video examples on demand plus concrete tips. Participants will hear from people with lived expertise discuss why authentic child and youth engagement is a foundational element for successful child welfare systems and learn practical information that workers, supervisors, and leaders can use to transform how children and youth are engaged. The QIC-EY is led by Spaulding for Children and is working in close partnership with four national partners.

Funded by the United States Department of Health & Human Services, Administration for Children & Families, Children’s Bureau, beginning in October 2021, the Quality Improvement Center on Engaging Youth in Finding Permanency (QIC-EY) is charged with advancing child welfare programs and practice to ensure that they are authentically engaging and empowering children and youth in foster care throughout the U.S., especially in relation to permanency decisions. It is expected that the components and impact of the QIC-EY will bring about systemic changes in how children and youth are authentically engaged as reflected in intentional policy, practice, and culture shifts in the 6-8 pilot sites.
