Role Description
If you or your organization is interested in helping facilitate foster care wellbeing research, the CourtCare team would love to connect with you to collaborate. We seek assistance in recruiting eligible and interested youth and caregivers who have recently entered the Permanent Managing Conservatorship of the state.
How can service providers help support CourtCare?
CourtCare is an ongoing study that centers around youth entering under the Permanent Managing Conservatorship (PMC) of the state. Service providers can support the study by connecting us with youth and caregivers whose cases enter PMC status. The CourtCare team has created informational packets to distribute to eligible individuals interested in learning more about the study. We welcome an active discussion on how to best distribute this information in a way that is feasible for your organization.
