This webinar is the second part of a previous webinar and will talk further about systemic racism in the child welfare system and implicit bias. There will be discussion of the disproportionate number of children of color in the child welfare system and how to use social science to advocate for relative placements. Participants will hear from youth who have experienced foster care about the harm of trans-racial placement and the importance of placement with family.
