  • Facilitate communication with the child’s professional team and provide the case manager with timely and accurate documentation, including detailed family genograms, diligent efforts made by the Specialist, family contact information, and identified family supports.
  • Attend all meetings and court hearings, advocating for relative/kin placement.
