As part of our FY25 Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) efforts, we participated in a qualitative evaluation with the UNM Evaluation Lab, began collecting important performance data, and had an experienced contractor observe our attorneys in various kinds of court hearings in three counties. The observations are ongoing, and we’re adding case file reviews to our CQI efforts this year.
The results are not surprising: Interdisciplinary Legal Teams work! The teams genuinely support families, provide valuable (and otherwise missing) information for better decision-making by everyone involved, and reduce the time to permanency.
