e better met. This information is reported to the Legislative Committee on Children and Youth regularly. This group serves as an integral part of the service array process and facilitates the linkages between child welfare and children’s mental health. F. Nevada Partnership for Training (NPT): The Nevada Partnership for Training is a partnership, in collaboration with the Family Programs Office, the Rural Region, Clark County Department of Family Services, Washoe County Department of Social Services, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). Individuals from these entities work collaboratively together to improve the child welfare training delivery system. The goal of the NPT is to assess Nevada’s training delivery needs and develop and implement a comprehensive training delivery system. G. Foster Parent Associations: The Sierra Association of Foster Families (SAFF) a non-profit organization in Washoe County and the Clark County Foster and Adoptive Parent Association (CCFAPA) a non-profit organization in Clark County are comprised of caregivers whose purpose is to ensure licensed foster/adoptive families have the information, tools and support they need to provide safe, quality care to abused, neglected and otherwise dependent children. These organizations also provide support for the 15 rural counties. SAFF primarily serves the counties in the Northern part of the State, and CCFAPA primarily services Clark County and the community of Pahrump in Southern Nye County. H. Out-of-State Placement Workgroup: Members of the Out of State Placement Workgroup consist of representatives each with a specialization unique to the diagnosis and placement of Nevada youth in out of state facilities. These members include staff from Children’s Mental Health, DCFS FPO, DCFS Rural Region, WCDSS, CCDFS and Juvenile Justice as well as support from management, legal and fiscal representatives as needed. Children are placed in out-of-state placements when instate services are not available to meet their needs. The Ensuring that these out of state resources are adequate and meet the standards set by the State requires inspection, review and, sometimes, revision of State policy. This workgroup makes itself available to participate in meetings and assignments that meet these objectives and tasks. The Out of State Placement Workgroup will continue to meet periodically with the goal of developing a schedule of inspections and an equitable and fiscally responsible way to divide the travel among all participants. The workgroup recognizes that, in most cases, it is preferable to keep children in their home state and to facilitate permanency in a healthy environment. The workgroup remains committed to ensuring that when out of state placement is the only alternative for a Nevada youth that the facility meets all of the requirements set forth by State and Federal requirements. I. Youth Advisory Board (YAB): The YAB assists foster and former foster youth to make the transition to adulthood. The YAB exists to provide exemplary leadership and empowerment opportunities for youth who have or will experience out of home care. Nevada APSR – SFY 2010 Page 106 of 108
