Title: Building Early Childhood Child Welfare Linkages to Support the
Developmental Needs of Children in In-Home Care
Date: Thursday, December 15, 2011
Time: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
There is growing attention to the importance of early childhood child welfare partnerships as a means of supporting the unique developmental needs of young children who have experienced child abuse and neglect. We invite you to participate in a webinar which will share experience from two states – Illinois and Connecticut – which have been very successful in building these collaborations. The focus will be on a sub-population of families served that is often left out of these conversations – in-home/intact families. The basis for the webinar is a 2011 memo from ACF Commissioner Brian Samuels and Joan Lombardi, Assistant Deputy Secretary for Early Childhood Development.
This webinar will inspire and encourage teams working on excellence for in-home services and policies to build strong and durable bridges among the early childhood education, child development, and child welfare communities of practice. Our presenters will describe some of the challenges, benefits, and successes of these collaborations.
