This manual will help you get started or continue your work with CFE. Whether you’re a new CASA volunteer, an experienced CPS worker, or somewhere in between, this manual is intended as a collection of tools and strategies that can be used in your case practice and advocacy. Throughout this manual, you will learn about the history and background of Collaborative Family Engagement, including its roots in Kevin Campbell’s Family Finding™ model, as well as how and why CFE works to improve the lives of youth and families.
