Reinventing Children's Services
A Policy Forum on Child Welfare Innovation
Event
The nation's child welfare system faces overwhelming financial and programmatic challenges. There is an urgent need for a national dialogue about how to reinvent and reshape effective services to best provide for vulnerable children and their families. What's working? What needs to change, and what can realistically be accomplished?
Join the National Association of Social Workers, the New America Foundation, First Star and policyAmerica for a day-long policy forum with some of the foremost leaders in the field of child welfare to discuss the "next generation" of policies and programs.
