Education<\/div>\n

A shared vision of change<\/h2>\n

We promote promising practices and underlying policies that improve the lives of vulnerable children and their families. In particular, we provide information about policies that allow child welfare systems to make smart, effective investments so more children have the opportunity to grow up in safe, stable and supportive families.<\/p>\n

We are committed to supporting federal child welfare policy changes that will provide every state with the ability to invest existing resources in the most effective strategies to safely reduce the need for foster care, strengthen families and improve the safety and success of all children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
