Focus on prevention, supporting partners, and promoting strong families
Protecting children is a community responsibility that does not rest solely with one agency, organization, or individual. Ensuring a child’s safety and well-being extends to physical, behavioral health, and educational needs. Managing the program mandates, and keeping pace with evolving research and policy, can be complex, with the availability of human and financial resources varying greatly among federal, state, and local administration. Focusing on prevention and collaboration with aligned health services and agencies, CAI offers child welfare program and policy support, business and digital transformation solutions, as well as strategic planning and implementation services that help our partners achieve their mission and vision.
Additionally, CAI partners with child welfare, medical assistance, drug and alcohol, and behavioral health agencies to advance innovative solutions.
Comprehensive child welfare information system transformation
Federal design requirements for child welfare information systems must meet a unique set of standards. These requirements encourage states to use modern technology that shares information across multiple children and family-serving systems. CAI partners with agencies to develop strategies that network these siloed systems and aid with the necessary organizational change management that leads to successful technological deployments the first time.
Creating performance-based partnerships
State and local governments rely on community service providers and extended family members to ensure that children are safe, have stable, permanent homes, and that their physical, behavioral health, and educational needs are met. CAI partners with child welfare system stakeholders to transform reactive systems into proactive ones and ensure direct services can be delivered safely and efficiently.
Research, policy, and grant assistance
Child welfare and health agencies provide vital services amid ever-changing budget environments. To provide evidence-based services to their communities, agencies must identify effective strategies that keep pace with evolving research and policy. CAI helps agencies develop polices and grant opportunities that are grounded in research.
