Why We Created This Platform
Child-serving agencies play a crucial role in promoting the well-being of infants, children, youth, families, and communities. However, it’s essential to recognize that these systems, initially designed in the 1900s, were unfortunately rooted in systemic racism, leading to the perpetuation of systemic inequities over the years.
These flaws have resulted in disparities that impact the care and support provided to families and children. Acknowledging these flaws, we strive for a better solution, aiming to reshape child and family well-being systems to genuinely support all families and children. By addressing these historical shortcomings and fostering inclusivity, we can work towards building more equitable, effective, and compassionate systems that uplift every child and family in our diverse communities.
Our Goal
Our aim is to stress the vital importance of collaboration between child-serving systems and community partners in preventing child abuse and neglect. By fostering stronger partnerships and collaboration, we can collectively work towards preventing these issues in our communities.
Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge of how your involvement can make a positive impact. This involves improving foster care outcomes and enhancing the effectiveness of child-serving agencies, local partners, and families by working together to prevent instances of child abuse and neglect. Together, we can create a more efficient and responsive system, empowering everyone to play a role in safeguarding children and ensuring their well-being.
