Summary

This study tests whether a simple team debriefing tool, called an After-Action Review, can help child welfare teams better connect children and families to mental health services. Researchers will work with 320 participants, including caseworkers and family members, to see if these structured reflections improve teamwork and follow-through on care plans. The goal is to make sure kids get the mental health support they need.
