In public child welfare systems, turnover among administrators and social workers can result in the loss of valuable stories and ideas. When experienced clinical staff leave their positions, the lessons they've learned in the field aren't always readily available to their successors or partners.

Chronicling addresses these issues through narrative works about child welfare initiatives happening across the country. Chronicles preserve information about key stakeholders, methods of engagement, common barriers, and innovative solutions.

Documenting and preserving these important lessons helps to sustain change over the long term. If you're interested in learning more about this work, please contact us.
