World as Community: The Intersection between Migration and Child Welfare

Mini-Plenary V

Due to the complexity and often controversial nature of practice, program, and policy issues regarding migration and child welfare, virtually all practitioners and policymakers may benefit from high quality information, guidance, and resources that will improve child welfare practice and policy and support ongoing networking, information-sharing, and collaboration. Building on previous roundtables and national discussion, presenters address practice, program, and policy issues in an effort to support child welfare professionals in their work with immigrant children and families, as well as identify emerging issues that impact child and family well-being and the established systems of protection and care. Participants gain an opportunity to develop simple and achievable action plans.
