Changing the Child Welfare System
In a recent report, Rhett Mabry, vice president of The Duke Endowment, shares thoughts on the child welfare system and the specific role of residential group care. The child welfare system has historically focused on finding permanent placements for children, but provided little in terms of post-placement support that could improve outcomes for children and families. From 2008-2012, The Duke Endowment committed more than $1 million for a child welfare reform pilot project in Catawba County, North Carolina to create new, enhanced, long-term interventions to improve child well-being after children are reunited with their families or adopted.
