• The Family Services Alliance (FSA) has developed a series of trainings designed to support the development of knowledge and practice in case management among family support organizations and to enhance the case management capacity within family support programs.
  
• An individual who successfully completes the full series will receive a certificate of completion.

• Staff members of family support organizations who work directly with families, and who may not have a degree in social work, counseling, or a related field.

• For family support providers – increased knowledge and practice in providing case management services to support families. Having completed these trainings is also a way to demonstrate their familiarity with case management services.
  
• For programs – programs can demonstrate that their staff members are familiar with case management services.
