Rethinking Protection: Innovating to Advance Safety, Well-being, and Justice

Given the history of child welfare and current mindsets and practices, it can be difficult to envision possibilities for transformation toward what many people around the U.S. are calling for – a child and family well-being system in which ALL children and families are valued.

Join this conversation where leaders from Safe & Sound, the Young Women’s Freedom Center, and Futures Without Violence will share their reflections and explore crucial questions:

1. How might key social actors and change agents build and sustain resilience, optimism, and hope while working to change systems?
2. Which catalyzers and accelerators enable and promote healing and wellbeing for children and their families?
3. What does it take to lead and drive transformative systems change?
