“Trauma-Informed Child Welfare Practice” CW360 now available online and in print

The Winter 2013 issue of CW360°, “Trauma-Informed Child Welfare Practice,” from the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare in partnership with the Ambit Network is now available online and in print. This issue focuses on trauma-informed practice with children and families involved in the child welfare system.
CW360° is meant to provide communities, child welfare professionals, and other human service professionals with comprehensive information on the latest research, policies, and practices in a key area affecting child well-being today. As Traci LaLiberte and Tracy Crudo state in their letter from the editors,

“It is no longer a question of whether to incorporate trauma-informed organizational and practice strategies into child welfare practice, but how.”

This year will also see two more issues of CW360° addressing children and parents with disabilities in the child welfare system. To view past issues, visit the CW360° webpage on our website.
