SUMMARY:Child Welfare’s 21st-Century Research Agenda: How Monthly Cash Gifts Are Fostering Infant Brain Development
DESCRIPTION:Register				\n							\n		Baby’s First Years is the first causal study to test the connections between poverty reduction and brain development among very young children. During this webinar\, participants will hear from two researchers behind the study\, Sonya Troller-Renfree and Greg Duncan\, about the impact of monthly cash support for low-income mothers on the brain development of their infant children. \nBaby’s First Years is a pathbreaking study of the causal impact of monthly\, unconditional cash gifts to low-income mothers and their children in the first four years of the child’s life. After one year\, infants of mothers in low-income households receiving $333 in monthly cash support were more likely to show faster brain activity\, in a pattern associated with learning and development at later ages. \nHow economic and concrete supports can be used promote child and family well-being and prevent child maltreatment is one component of the 21st-century research agenda for child welfare. Understanding the existing research and research gaps in this area is critical as we design better economic stability programs for families and upstream community-based family supports. \nAbout the Webinar Series\nThis webinar is one session in Social Current’s five-part learning series on the 21st-century research agenda for child welfare. \n\nCutting through the Chaos by Reframing Childhood Adversity\nOct. 11 from Noon-1 p.m. ET\nHow Monthly Cash Gifts Are Fostering Infant Brain Development\nOct. 13 from 2-3 p.m. ET\nSupporting Safe and Effective Investigations through Training Labs\nNov. 29 from 3-4:30 p.m. ET\nBuilding Protective Factors through Family Resource Centers\nDec. 1 from 3-4:30 p.m. ET\nAn Anti-Racist Approach to Child Neglect Investigations\nDec. 6 from 3-4 p.m. ET\n\nThe Annie E. Casey Foundation\, Casey Family Programs and the William T. Grant Foundation are leading an initiative\, along with many partners\, to identify research gaps related to community-based family support\, child protective services\, out-of-home care\, and post-permanency services. The initiative is now working to conduct research\, rooted in equity and co-designed by people with lived experience\, to address these gaps and answer key questions\, as well as increase the use of this research in decision making. Learn more about the 21st-century research agenda for child welfare online. \nTakeaways\n\nLearn about the connections between poverty reduction and brain development among young children\nReflect on ways that economic and concrete supports can bolster well-being\nGain insight into the 21st-century research agenda\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nChild welfare professionals including caseworkers\, investigators\, managers\, researchers\, and other social sector professionals who interact with the child welfare system\n\n  \n	\n\n					\n\n										\n		\n	\n\n\n	\n				\n			\n				Presenter\n			\n		\n		\n					\n\n									\n					\n						\n															\n													\n							\n								Greg Duncan\, Ph.
