A “kinship-first” culture flips the paradigm of foster care by prioritizing the placement of children with their family members. What, then, is the role of educators and leaders in advancing an approach that fully considers the importance of family bonds, culture, and children’s overall well-being? Join us for an empowering workshop at the intersection of education and child welfare systems. Learn from leaders who champion a kin-first culture in their communities, and leave with actionable strategies and resources to apply in your partnerships with child welfare agencies and families.
