Family to Family (F2F) |
|
The United States child welfare system faces serious
challenges that have been growing for more than a
decade. In response, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, in
consultation with community leaders and child welfare
practitioners nationwide, has developed a reform
initiative called Family to Family. |
| |
|
Family to Family
includes principles, strategies, and tools to confront the real
problems faced by child welfare systems. These include: |
| |
-
strengthening the network of families available to care for
abused and neglected children in their own communities;
|
-
building partnerships with at-risk neighborhoods toward that
end; and
|
-
tracking outcomes for children and families, so that child
welfare systems can better learn from their experiences.
