Social Current has launched a brief national survey on challenges impacting child welfare providers. The information shared will help inform recommendations for system improvements, policy advocacy, and sustainable models of care that better support children, families, and organizations. 

Multiple staff from organizations may complete the survey, including: 

  • Program directors and managers  
  • Supervisors 
  • Front-line staff 

Take the survey online by April 23. It should take about 10 minutes to complete.  

Insight from this survey will support the work of Five & Rising pilot community Progressive Life Center (PLC)  to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of foster care and the broader continuum of family services. The organization looks to inform their efforts with national data on the experiences of staff delivering services every day.  

Five & Rising is a Social Current initiative designed to spark bold, community-driven solutions that reimagine the social sector.
