GPSII/MAPP Agency Preparation and Selection (APS) Workshops
Length:
1/2 to 1 day
Who should attend:
Agency administrators, supervisors and other agency decision–makers.
In order for a new foster care/adoption agency to receive the benefits of implementing GPSII/MAPP
and its adjunct MAPP
programs and other MAPP support services,
the agency must, first of all, be an OCFS–approved foster care/adoption agency.
Also, agencies are required to have assessed their willingness and ability to implement the program.
This includes a presentation on the conceptual framework of the GPSII Program,
MAPP program adjunct services and products,
the GPSII/MAPP
Program tools and various assessment activities. It is designed to provide prospective MAPP
agencies with opportunities to understand the benefits of implementing
GPSII/MAPP at their agencies.
Agencies have opportunities to assess their strengths/ needs in relationship to agency implementation,
implementation costs, staffing and space requirements and the agency efforts that are required to successfully implement
GPSII/MAPP
and other MAPP programs.
