Families in society: the journal of contemporary social services 2017, Vol. 98, No. 1Summary: A statewide community-based participatory evaluation and a National Child Welfare Workforce Institute (NCWWI) organizational health assessment provided context for selection of new philosophy and practice models by the Missouri Children's Division. Amid the hope and inspiration generated by these changes, program installation steps unfolded nearly simultaneously with initial implementation in the Kansas City area transformation zone. Policy to-practice and practice-to-policy feedback loops in the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Social Work's NCWWI university partnership grant identified implementation challenges and supported development of tools for improved implementation.
