As the Deputy Director for Child Welfare in Ouray and San Miguel counties, she sees firsthand the impact child welfare has in her small community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cYou really get to know your people\u2014in your office, in your community, in law enforcement,\u201d said Linnea. \u201cBecause of the limited number of services we have available in our community, you learn to think outside the box when it comes to getting families what they need and showing up for them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">One example Linnea shared was managing supervised family time. There\u2019s no supervised family time agency within 30 minutes of either community, which requires Linnea\u2019s team get creative about solutions. \u201cIt\u2019s important to us to provide consistent family time, so I have caseworkers that willingly transport kids over two hours each way so they can visit in their home with kin.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Because of size of their small team, Linnea says every caseworker, including herself, fondly call themselves generalists. \u201cI may only have five cases, but I\u2019m doing it all for those five cases. I find that unique and enjoyable. Those of us doing generalist frontier community work are very knowledgeable in all aspects of child welfare.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Linnea\u2019s journey to child welfare started over 16 years ago when she started her career in Montrose County as an ongoing caseworker, eventually serving as an intake worker and lead supervisor before moving to Boulder County. In October 2020, a role became available in Ouray and she eagerly returned to the western slope.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThroughout my roles in casework, I\u2019ve really learned that my job is to look at each family holistically,\u201d said Linnea. \u201cMy job is to figure out how this family system functions and build long-term relationships to understand and support them.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Linnea is a proponent of Differential Response (DR), the process and philosophy of engaging families that includes holistic family assessments. This approach encourages the exploration of every possibility besides removal from the home that still keeps a child safe. This includes family engagement meetings, support planning, group supervision and more \u2013 a whole set of practices focused on keeping families together while ensuring children are safe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Often times, this includes providing support for families in the form of therapy, special economic assistance, referrals for preventative services or high-fidelity wraparound services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cIf we catch families early on through a family assessment response (FAR), we can provide support services that may prevent or discourage further involvement with the child welfare system,\u201d explained Linnea.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Since Linnea serves in a director role <em>and <\/em>works on cases of her own, she brings a unique perspective to the regional leadership meetings she attends. \u201cBecause we\u2019re small and doing everything for each case, it\u2019s helpful that I can provide \u2018on the ground\u2019 feedback and input on what my families need,\u201d said Linnea. This helps Linnea serve as a stronger advocate for greater system changes related to funding or services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Linnea\u2019s passion for her work, her team and her community is palpable. When asked about what her future looks like in child welfare, she smiled and said, \u201cThat\u2019s easy\u2014I\u2019m a lifer.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns
