Abstract: Child welfare agencies regularly espouse a philosophy of "family-centered" and "strengths-based" practice but factors including traditional practice, court auspices and deficient technology combine to impede attaining the worthwhile goals contained in the typical mission statement. In a three year demonstration project designed to promote organizational culture change and increase clinical competencies of workers, this issue was addressed by adopting a human behavior base of resiliency and a core intervention strategy or solution-focused therapy. This article details the implementation of that process and the empirical results on worker attitude and case performance.
