Past event
Prevention in Action: Building Equitable Pathways to Child and Family Well-Being
On Thursday & Friday September 28 & 29, 2023 the Children’s Home Society of America will partner with the Jordan Institute for Families and the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina to host the 11th Annual Wicked Problems of Child Welfare Convening. The event will be held in-person at The Duke Endowment: The Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans Conference Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Participants who attend this unique event will
1) Be active participants through engaged learning and small and full group discussions.
2) Apply an early childhood population / prevention lens to participate in scenario discussions that will create an opportunity to discuss and map the constellation of factors that impact families and the way they experience the child welfare system, including family financial stability, value of concrete supports, trauma, inequities – particularly racial inequities, substance use disorders, mental health issues, and domestic violence.
3) Share ideas and strategies for shifting child welfare work toward prevention and family support. Form new learning action committees to advance the work beyond the convening.
