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.
This webinar, co-hosted by Network partner ZERO TO THREE, will address how trauma can present in both kin caregivers and children in their care and how it impacts relational health.
In the first webinar of the series, Dory Thrasher, Senior SNAP Policy Analyst at FRAC, will discuss key topics related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and grandfamilies and kinship families.
As social service agencies and policy makers grapple with increasing demands for grandfamily and kinship housing, this webinar features two organizations that are providing much-needed housing for grandfamilies.
