In its own words, the child welfare system is a group of services designed to promote the well-being of children by ensuring safety, achieving permanency, and strengthening families to care for their children successfully. To the families with whom it intersects, “the system” may feel large, threatening, and not always supportive. In this training, we will develop a mutual understanding of purpose, roles, responsibilities, and lived experiences. We will discuss strategies for working with the system to achieve the best possible outcomes for children and families.
