Webinar Overview

Every young person deserves meaningful connections to their kin, community, and culture—regardless of their placement setting or the length of their involvement with child welfare. A KinFirst approach prioritizes intensive family engagement and service efforts, spanning prevention through permanent custody and beyond. This webinar explores an innovative, real-time implementation partnership designed to enhance family search and engagement for youth in congregate care settings, facilitating safe transitions directly to kin. Participants will gain insights into lessons learned from groundbreaking public-private leadership initiatives, cross-sector strategies, and family-centered approaches with families. Shared examples will highlight the critical role of a KinFirst philosophy across all facets of child welfare—workforce development, organizational practices, provider collaboration, and courtroom advocacy.
