There’s No Place Like Home: Understanding the Harms of Removal and Family Separation in Child Welfare

November 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Free

The idea of taking kids first and sorting it out later to “avoid” abuse is one of the biggest paradoxes in the history of
governmental practice. In 2023, Washington became one of the first states in the nation to statutorily require dependency courts to consider the likely harms a child will experience if removed from the care of their parents. This training will introduce participants to the concept of “harm of removal” in the context of child welfare and demonstrate use of practical tools and resources that support court systems in identifying and responding to the trauma of forced family separation.

This webinar will be recorded and made available for later viewing.

This webinar is hosted by the Administrative Office of the Courts’ Family & Youth Justice Programs, in partnership with the Office of Public Defense Parent Representation Program and Akin.
