• His/her own strengths to enhance skills they lack.
15

An Important Question
If your staff were here today and we asked them how you (the leaders)
expected them to engage their clients, what do you think they
would say?
18
700: Foundations of LeadershipThe Pennsylvania Child Welfare Resource Center
The Parallel Process
• “…there are parallels between the dynamics of supervision and any other helping relationship. Therefore, the skills that are important in direct practices with clients or patients are also important to the supervisory relationship.” (Shulman, 2010).
• “It is …very clear that client issues cannot be resolved by helping systems that repeat the same problems” (Mehr, 1995).
• Our systems frequently recapitulate the very experiences that have proven to be so toxic for the people we are supposed to treat. (Bloom, 2006).

• Mission: a statement of what the agency does to help contribute to making the vision come true.
• Values: ethical ideals that drive the scope, shape, and approach to working with children, youth and families.

requirements;• Determine what is actually happening to children and
families as they are engaged in child welfare services; and
