What Should Caregivers Expect in a Planning Session?

While developing the runaway prevention plan with the child or youth and caregivers, the caseworker will help them identify the child or youth's strengths.

Engage the child or youth by asking questions that help them to identify things that have prevented them from running away previously. Also explore things that may have triggered them to think about running away.

Ask the child or youth to identify reasonable things that their caregivers and others can do to help support them in not running away.
