Collaborative Family Engagement (CFE) is a team-based approach between local CASA programs and CPS/SSCC’s, to engage, find and work with family members and fictive kin in the creation and development of a lifetime network for young people in the foster care system. Some of the tools of CFE are presented in this app include Mobility Mapping, Connectedness Map, Ecomap, Circles of Trust, Tree of Life, and more! We hope that you will find these CFE tools easier to use and more accessible to young people and that ultimately more connections will be built.
