News From The Field: March 2019
This month, we’re featuring a new study on working with multicultural communities. We’re also excited to be partnering with TACFS for their upcoming Symposium on Family Engagement on April 3rd from 11am-3pm. During this event, we’ll be talking more about our latest work on the Texas Permanency Outcomes Project (TxPOP), as well as familial belonging within the child welfare system.
