Children entering foster care face trauma from where they have come, which then often continues within the foster care itself. Ways to address that trauma include adopting a strengths-based approach in choosing children's placements, advancing their education and life-long outcomes, and determining the safest and quickest return to their families or achieving permanency through adoption or guardianship. This session addresses necessary changes from larger systemic reforms to individual case planning that would better meet the needs of children and families.
