Sessions

Tuesday, May 23: A Public Health Approach to Better Support Families and Counteract Child Abuse and Neglect

Amy Templeman of Social Current with Seth Persky of Michigan Department of Health and Human Services

We will share equitable solutions to better support families identified through Child Safety Forward, a three-year federal demonstration initiative. The goal of the initiative is to develop multidisciplinary strategies and responses to address serious or near-death injuries as a result of child abuse or neglect and to reduce the number of child fatalities. The initiative is funded by the Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime. Social Current serves as the national technical assistance provider to sites in California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. The public health approach to this work rebalances power, credits multiple types of data, and centers learning. The evaluation has identified three core conditions necessary to building a reimagined child and family well-being system: 1) Elevate families into relationships of equal power within systems, 2) Build intentional strategy to systematically assess and address racism, and 3) Sustain a proactive communications strategy.
