Does anyone know of communities who send a clinician to serve the child (trauma, psychological first aid, etc) when a social service/child protective service team member goes out for a "removal" from a family and move into foster care or kinship care? Someone to focus on the needs of the child, instead of the inevitable negotiations, information-gathering, packing, and management of the parent/guardian?
I know I've heard of communities who do this across the country. Having a hard time putting my finger on who.
We are trying to partner with local social service agencies to provide such a service but would love to learn from the experience of others. Thanks!
