Understanding and Integrating the Ontario Practice Model is a series of webcasts exploring the integration of the three frameworks that together form the Ontario Practice Model (OPM): Structured Analysis Family Evaluation (SAFE); Parent Resources for Information, Development and Education (PRIDE); and Ontario Looking After Children (OnLAC).
Using the themes of Teamwork, Permanence, Culture and Identity and Well-Being, this four-part webcast series demonstrates how the three frameworks of the OPM are integrated to support a whole-agency approach to strengthening in-care services for infants, children and youth.
This webcast series is intended to be used with:
- New staff and students to help with their orientation to Child Welfare services
- Agency teams to provide learning and stimulate discussion during team meetings
- Foster, Adoption, Kin and Customary care support/education groups
- Agency Board members and other volunteers to deepen their understanding of Child Welfare services
- OnLAC and PRIDE trainers as a resource for their training sessions or trainer development
