There are four core strategies in the Family to Family Initiative.  In addition to the core strategies, there are other complementary strategies that can be implemented in the initiative as well.  Each strategy is a tool that can be utilized to improve the child welfare system and provide help to families and children in a way that enhances their lives rather than disrupting their lives.  The core stategies are briefly described below.

Building Community Partnerships (BCP)

Team Decision Making (TDM)

 Recruitment, Development & Support of Resource Families  (RDS)

Self Evaluation (SE)
