Child welfare has seen incredible adoption of the kin-specific model licensing standards nationwide, with enthusiastic support. But this shift to kin-specific licensing has left some private agencies wondering about their role in a kin-first culture. Join Network Subject Matter Network Marina Nitze for a panel discussion with private agencies that have successfully navigated this shift. They will share their experiences, vision, and advice for supporting kin. At this webinar, we’ll also launch a practical resource that captures some of these promising practices for implementation by your agency.
Presenter & Panel Moderator: Marina Nitze, Subject Matter Expert, Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network
