During their work in multiple states, the Foster Insights team at the University of Chicago has observed notable trends in kin placement rates and the stability of kin placements. We shared these observed trends and discussed their implications for stakeholders across the child welfare space. View the webinar recording for a discussion on what we learned about kinship families using placement data, and how these data-driven insights can help further the case for a kinship-first culture.
Presenters:

The purpose of this webinar is to help Tribes who operate kinship support service programs, including kinship navigation programs, know about and understand how they can prepare to take advantage of new resources afforded under the Supporting America's Children and Families Act.
