Dannette Smith informs us how the child welfare system works and how it has changed in response to changing conditions and better data. We touch on the family-centered practice of child welfare, and how social workers look at issues of neglect vs. abuse. how social workers, juvenile justice workers, and juvenile court judges work together to determine what is best for the child, and how best to strengthen families in danger of having children removed from the home. We also touch on behavioral health, tough love, and the social determinants of health.
