Closing the Front Door: Reimagining Mandated Reporting through a Social and Racial Justice Lens

HOSTED BY: University of Minnesota

This webinar will discuss the connection between race and poverty and the involvement of families in child welfare, including family separation. By incorporating evidence-based practices such as family engagement, connecting to resources, and providing culturally appropriate services, attendees will be exposed to alternatives to reporting that can prevent child maltreatment, promote family preservation, and maintain connections and relationships with families while still complying with reporting laws. Participants will be asked to challenge their previous beliefs and training about mandated reporting and consider that their decisions have an impact beyond just the reporting phone call.
