Driving Measurable Change in Child & Family Systems
What We Do
At The Collins Institute for Child & Family Systems, we partner with public agencies, community organizations, and policy leaders to modernize child welfare practice through data-driven strategy, capacity-building, and reform implementation.
Service Areas:
1. Operational Reform
We streamline systems through risk-based triage, QA dashboards, and workflow redesign to strengthen safety and accountability.
2. Workforce & Supervision
We enhance leadership and retention through coaching, staffing models, and structured supervision practices that empower staff and improve decision-making.
3. Family-Centered Practice
We integrate mediation, teaming, and placement-stability strategies to keep children safely connected to family and culture.
4. Policy to Practice
We align state and agency policy with Family First, CAPTA, and other federal mandates — ensuring reforms reflect research, law, and real-world application.
5. The 12-Point Reform Framework
Our signature blueprint unites safety, prevention, workforce, and accountability into a cohesive system improvement model.
6. Custom Consulting & Training
We provide tailored workshops, technical assistance, and leadership coaching to support sustainable, measurable change.
