Working in Partnership Across Child Welfare
North Carolina’s child welfare system is composed of many different complex parts all working together with a primary focus to keep children and families safe and healthy. These intricate parts are comprised of caring birth parents, resource parents, caseworkers, Guardians ad Litem, teachers, therapists, doctors, and many more who work in partnership every day by navigating challenging circumstances.
In this issue of Fostering Perspectives, we wanted to share a variety of viewpoints and experiences related to working in partnership across the child welfare system. From young adults with lived experience, to kinship caregivers, resource parents keeping siblings connected, and the key role of shared parenting, this issue’s contributors open up and share their very personal experiences. Hopefully, this issue inspires, educates, and enlightens you to consider the different paths, strategies, and positive impacts of working in partnership. We hope you find it helpful.
