Agenda
Daniel Heimpel, Publisher of The Chronicle of Social Change, will discuss major child welfare developments relating to: implementation of the Family First Prevention Services Act; new federal funds to pay for legal representation of children in juvenile dependency proceedings; and the system’s increased reliance on relative caregivers.
Adam Pertman, President of the National Center on Adoption and Permanency and author of the book “Adoption Nation,” will focus in particular on how information-sharing across domains can contribute to the success of these efforts as well as to better outcomes for children and families generally.
