Placement Resources

Purpose:

When children need an out-of-home placement to be safe, a variety of placement resources are needed. Therefore, the Collaborative Hocoka (Circle):

· promotes the use of Family Group Decision-Making or family meetings to plan the placement;

· promotes the identification, preparation, and support of relative resource families;

· supports the recruitment and retention of Native American resource families (relative, foster, and adoptive families) for Native children, with special emphasis on adolescents and children with special needs; and

· advocates for culturally appropriate services in other placement resources (e.g., group homes, residential treatment facilities).
