In this op-ed, Dr. Monica Faulkner identifies how to fix Texas Child Protective Services by making it a place where social workers want to work.
The majority of Child Protective Services workers are not social workers. Instead, Texas employs people with degrees in math, history, science, art and music to make life-altering decisions about vulnerable families and children. You don’t even need a bachelor’s degree. You can get hired without one.
