“It’s extremely important that we have a continuum of care, much like we do for the families that we serve,” said one Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services Children and Family Services (CFS) Area Administrator. He is part of the team that partnered with the QIC-WD to create CFS Strong – Building a Resilient Workforce to address secondary traumatic stress (STS) among frontline staff and supervisors.
Our priorities in Nebraska are to keep families together and prevent or reduce the number of children in out-of-home placements. It’s our goal to learn tools, strategies and best practices from the experts on the QIC-WD team and the other selected child welfare systems to increase CFSS workers' job retention and satisfaction. We expect this effort will improve our service to the children and families we serve.
