Child welfare workers in public agencies serve some of the most vulnerable people in society: families and children in crisis. A consistently high-level of professional conduct in this work is essential for favorable outcomes. Yet public agencies face substantial challenges in hiring and retaining professionally trained child welfare workers and supervisors. The Northern California Training Academy brings to the region a training program designed to develop a uniformly high-level of competence in services for families and children.

Reaching Out: Current Issues for Child Welfare Practice in Rural Communities
This issue of Reaching Out is dedicated to providing information to help child welfare workers better understand and address the mandated responsibilities to families in which children are in foster care and a parent is incarcerated. Children have the right
to regular contact with their incarcerated parents, and incarcerated parents have the right to continue to parent their children, yet accommodating these rights can be a real challenge for child welfare workers and foster parents. While there is no simple solution for helping these families, it’s time to bring them out of the shadows and listen to what they need.
