| Kinship Care and Foster Care: Comparing Child Welfare Outcomes
____________________________________________________ Date: Tuesday, October 7, 2008 Time: 1 p.m. Central (2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific) This 90-minute Webinar by Marc Winokur, Deborah Valentine, and James Drendel will provide participants with an overview of how kinship care impacts the safety, permanency, and stability of children placed with relatives. In a study that controlled for demographic and placement characteristics, the authors found that children in kinship care have significantly fewer placements than do children in foster care, and they are less likely to still be in care, have a new allegation of institutional abuse, and be involved in the juvenile justice system. This Webinar also will address implications for the permanency of this population. Topics will include: • Recommendations for child welfare policy • Implications for child welfare practice • Directions for future research Get more information and register for this presentation HERE. |
