LEANNE & OLIVIA - The Child Welfare System

The child welfare system refers to the entire network of laws, agencies, professionals, and programs designed to protect children’s safety, ensure their well-being, and support families.  At the heart of that system are social workers.  They are in the trenches and on the front lines of the fight for children and families.  They deserve medals of honor.

In this episode, Leanne and Olivia, both with experience in the field of social work, help us understand the interconnectedness of it all.
