D. What Explains LAFC’s Early Success?
![Page 19: LA CROSSE AREA FAMILY COLLABORATIVE - Wisconsin Legislature · LA CROSSE AREA. F. AMILY. C. OLLABORATIVE. Presentation for Wisconsin Legislative Children’s Caucus . March 10. th,](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052803/5f81769018402e6a031a4534/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Taking time to build trust & relationships
Current Barriers within Wisconsin’s Child Welfare System
Achieving Success with Families
Vs.
LAFC’s Approach to Family Intervention
• One on one help in addressing basic needs
• Timely & flexible approach
Ability to holistically Leverage Social Work Skills
• High caseloads • Burdensome paperwork demands • Less time to address basic needs Often only time to focus on control of safety factors
