| ABSTRACT: University of Maryland Family Connections Program continues to serve families and their children as well as grandparent-headed households and their children residing in Baltimore City, now funded in part by the Department of Human Services. Services, including in-home clinical activities and group work, are provided by staff and interns supervised by clinical faculty members of the University of Maryland, School of Social Work Title IV-E Education for Public Child Welfare Program and program staff. Best practices intervention strategies are implemented based on the utilization of comprehensive clinical assessments and individualized service plans through the integration of standardized client-driven instruments and practitioner observations. The information will be used in the development of services, in partnership with the families, and in evaluating program outcomes. A major project deliverable will be a final summary report containing a narrative description of the project, summary data for the entire grant period and recommendations for “best practices.” PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Diane DePanfilis, PhD
