Building Bridges: Empowering Partnerships in Foster Care through Effective Initial Calls
Look to join us for insightful sessions focused on enhancing parent-caregiver partnerships within the foster care system. Minnesota first put initial foster care phone calls into statute in 2020. This year, we are deepening the learning on the pivotal role of initial/comfort calls. We will unpack the impact early parent-caregiver contact has on the well-being of children, how the calls can foster stronger relationships, and help facilitate successful reunification.
