A structured and consistent Plan of Safe Care can strengthen protective factors, promote healthy development, and prevent child welfare involvement or out-of-home placement through connections to parenting education, safety guidance, early intervention, and wraparound resources and services.

A Plan of Safe Care is required by [federal legislation](https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/524/text) for “infants born and identified as being affected by substance abuse or withdrawal symptoms, or a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder,” and this page includes implementation recommendations for developing them in your jurisdiction.

* Oregon’s District 11 Klamath/Lake Counties started a tribal family coach program in 2020 as a response to the Klamath Tribe’s concern about families having multiple screened out calls that eventually led to a removal of their tribal member. The Klamath Tribes concern was the lack of support to families addressing issues that caused the call to the hotline despite the call not raising to the level of a CPS investigation. Screened-out reports related to Native American and Alaska Native families are shared with the ODHS tribal family coach by the tribe, for potential assistance. The coach reaches out to the family together with a Klamath Tribal support person, to offer assistance, and has the flexibility to assist them with a wide range of needs.
In Oregon’s D11, the Klamath Tribes support their own members in collaboration with an ODHS Family Coach. The ODHS tribal family coach can support all other Native American and Alaska Native families who may be from any tribe nationwide as well as tribal members from any of Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribes.
The ODHS tribal family coach works closely with the Klamath tribal TANF team to support families in a coordinated way.
Here is Oregon’s [position description](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MXpOaBL2_cesoR42pI1NZxf6BNzKnWrX/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=103308794074606378631&rtpof=true&sd=true) and [logic model](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W8Q1M14JaWD0rOd37XmFD48QQ879ay0-/view?usp=drive_link) for jurisdictions looking to create their own coach program.
outcome: With the collaboration and hard work of the Klamath Tribes and the ODHS tribal family coach, Oregon’s D11 has become the only district in the state to both significantly reduce the number of Klamath Tribal children in foster care, and the only district to have zero and or minimal over-representation of Native American or Alaska Native children in foster care.
