Too many American families find themselves struggling because of gaps in health, economic, and #HumanServices systems. And too often families are sent to the child welfare system for well-being needs and support that #ChildWelfare was not designed to provide. We need a multi-system approach designed to meet family needs from the start. Explore our new strategic framework for this child and family well-being system: https://lnkd.in/gxqsb7kq . It lays out a vision and practical steps to get there.

Join us in a workshop held by Gaelin Elmore where we'll discuss "Finding Belonging." Belonging is a fundamental need for human flourishing. After navigating spaces like the child welfare system, belonging becomes a strange concept. In this call, the focus will be on belonging; what is it, why does it matter, what does it look like, and what to do next! Happening Monday, October 28th at 1PM PST | 4PM EST. RSVP here! https://lnkd.in/gRT2ndBk #belonging #livedexperience #fosteryouth

UnSystems aren’t about tweaks or revisions; they represent a fundamental transformation of how we approach child welfare in America. UnSystems leverage the expertise of those most impacted by the system - parents, young people, and the communities they come from. By co-designing solutions with these stakeholders, we can create a system that is not only more effective but also more responsive to the unique needs of each family. Ready to #UnSystemTheSystem? Let us know how we can help!
