Listening to the families who experience these systems and to the practitioners building better models can show what it takes to build real pathways for parents in addiction. Read what Katherine's story means for child welfare policy. freopp.org/oppblog/kather…

Sometimes the most important policy insights begin with a story. @aly_brodsky writes about Katherine, a mother who fought through addiction and was reunited with her daughters. Their story is a victorious story, one that people rarely see in the headlines.

At CSSF, we believe that solving the hardest problems in child welfare requires people deeply committed to improving the lives of vulnerable children and families. Tiffany Perrin is one of those people, and we're glad she's bringing her rich expertise to our team.

Every delayed placement has a child attached to it. The new Kin-Specific Foster Family Home Licensing Standards cut unnecessary barriers and move kids into safe, familiar homes faster. Stability is not a luxury. It is a necessity, and this is a step toward delivering it.

New legislation, policy shifts, and accountability gaps don't always make headlines. If you work in this space or care about keeping children safe, subscribing to our newsletter will keep you current: confirmsubscription.com/h/y/FFA2F9919F…

Children in the child welfare system need people in their corner who understand what's at stake. @aly_brodsky has held nearly every vantage point in child welfare. That combination of proximity and authority is rare, and it's why she built CSSF.
