EBP in Foster Parent Training and SupportEvidence-Based Practice in Foster Parent SupportTable B provides an overview of evidence based practices in foster parent services andsupports. The table presents the evidence-based rating for each model of foster parent training aswell as empirically-based relationships among evidence-based practices in foster parent supportservices and key child welfare outcomes.The review of literature indicates that the provision of 1) benefits (such as healthinsurance and stipends), 2) opportunities for foster parent collaboration with agency staff andbiological families, 3) interventions designed to make changing levels of care flow moresmoothly, 4) respite, 5) social support, 6) inventories to assess needs and current sources ofsupport, and 7) models of training which include an on-going support component are all currentsources of support for foster parents. Specific models of support have been developed and havebeen tested in collaboration with foster and biological parents as well as in interventions that aredesigned to assist youth “step-down” from residential treatment centers to less restrictive levelsof care, such as TFC. The results of these models show promise for their utility in a TFCpopulation. However, there is currently a lack of specific models in the empirical literaturedeveloped to address other treatment foster provider support needs, including benefits (healthinsurance and stipends), collaboration between agencies and treatment foster parents in serviceplanning, delivery of respite services, and the delivery and enhancement of social supportservices. Effective support services may help TFC agencies recruit and retain experienced,satisfied treatment care providers, and have positive effects on TFC youth outcomes.Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare (CASCW)University of Minnesota School of Social WorkContact: Kristine N.
