"Wards of the State: The Long Shadow of American Foster Care" examines the impact of foster care involvement and challenges readers to consider how systems shape futures. This panel brings together voices from advocacy, leadership, and legal representation to examine the book’s insights through the lens of real-world practice and what they mean for those working within child welfare today.
Together, we will explore how advocacy, legal decision-making, and system structures influence children not just in the moment — but across a lifetime.
