Description
Summary:This article discusses a novel approach to prepare child welfare professionals to serve families who are immigrants and are involved in the child welfare system. We present a case study using a Title IV-E Child Welfare Training partnership to expose child welfare supervisors to current immigration issues, identify and address the challenges faced by families who are immigrants, and the challenges in acquiring and providing appropriate services. This case study builds on prior work to advance practice with families who are immigrants via educational frameworks.
