Project TEACH New York’s Post

Our 13-year longitudinal research that looks at Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) participation reveals a growing trend in child-only TANF cases, where no adult recipients are involved: https://lnkd.in/gBQw-thy These children tend to remain on #TANF longer and are more consistent in receiving support compared to adult recipients. It's important that we gain a deeper understanding of how child-only cases are being leveraged across states and their impact on TANF participation. #ChildWellbeing

WHAT IS PARENTAL ALIENATION? Explained by DR. STAN KOROSI PHD Principal Consultant-Director Administrative Services Director-Family Bridges Workshop Parental alienation goes by many names to avoid confronting its ugly reality as a social and severe public health issue with potentially fatal outcomes. The social sciences are replete with research demonstrating how destructive, if not deadly, the process of alienation is for parents and children. Alienation is an ideology that dehumanises parents and treats children as disposable and tradeable assets. It defines family by membership in a voluntary and temporary social group. And memberships can be cancelled!  Read more: WHAT IS PARENTAL ALIENATION? -https://lnkd.in/g8WKvckM #parentalalienation #Dadsindistress #mumsindistress #parentalalienationawaress #parentsbeyondbreakup #StanKorosiPHD

Children in orphanages are typically without phone access, and if they do, it is under strict supervision with staff monitoring closely. The unfortunate reality is that the abuse we have witnessed and reported often comes from those entrusted to protect them, creating significant obstacles for these children to seek help. The current system is designed to shield the orphanages and suppress the voices of the children. Urgent action is required to engage with children and young people in care/ and those who have transitioned to develop ways to address this glaring gap. Any policy and follow-up interventions must always prioritize the needs of the most marginalized, those at risk of violence and exploitation.

Such an important post from Stephen Ucembe - and this is the case far beyond Kenya. Violence against children is at the core of institutionalisation: it drives children into institution, is endemic within them, and institutionalisation of children in itself is a form of violence against children. Because children in institutions are often cut off from the world around them, separated from communities, this violence all too often goes unreported and unaddressed. I hope that the upcoming first Ministerial Conference on Violence Against Children, in Bogota this November, will provide a forum for meaningful action on this issue: https://lnkd.in/enhK9ErK

An estimated one in four children in South Africa experience some form of maltreatment. By creating enabling environments for caregivers to play a more nurturing role in the early years of their child’s life,we may be more likely to protect young children from maltreatment. Innovative solutions that enable caregivers, including fathers, to provide consistent supportive and responsive care are essential for promoting positive child development. #DYK #InvestEarly #0to6Matters  

Why We Should Support the Government in Reintegration of Children into Family or Community-Based Care.Research has shown that children living in institutional care face numerous challenges. Despite common myths and misconceptions, it's clear that family-based and community-based care offer better outcomes for children. Here are some prevalent myths: 1. Institutions are a social good, or at least necessary. 2. Children in orphanages and living on the streets are orphans. 3. These children come from “bad families” who do not want their children. 4. Family and community-based services are more expensive than institutional care. 5.Changing the system is too difficult or complex The main objectives of care reform are: 1. Strengthening Families and Prevent Separation. 2. Provision of Alternative Care Services. 3.Supporting Transition to Family and Community-Based Care. 4.Redirection of Financial and Human Resources. 👪 👨👩👦

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking An orphanage is a residential institution, total institution or group home, devoted to the care of orphans and children who, for various reasons, cannot be cared for by their biological families. The parents may be deceased, absent, or abusive. There may be substance abuse or mental illness in the biological home, or the parent may simply be unwilling to care for the child. The legal responsibility for the support of abandoned children differs from country to country, and within countries. Government-run orphanages have been phased out in most developed countries during the latter half of the 20th century but continue to operate in many other regions internationally. It is now generally accepted that orphanages are detrimental to the emotional wellbeing of children, and government support goes instead towards supporting the family unit.
