SUMMARY:Professional Development Series - The Power of Partnership: Prioritizing Lived Experience in Child Welfare
DESCRIPTION:Peer parent programs provide child welfare-involved families with a unique opportunity to connect with parents who have successfully navigated the child welfare system and share similar experiences. Through peer support\, families gain access to practical guidance\, community connections\, and firsthand insight from someone who understands the challenges of navigating the system. In this webinar\, participants will explore the value of lived experience in supporting families\, learn how lived experience voice can positively impact service delivery and systems change\, and discover practical strategies for incorporating lived experience into their own work. Join us to learn how this is being implemented by Parents Supporting Parents in Wisconsin. \nAndrea Szwec began her child welfare career in 2002 as a CPS Initial Assessment Worker in Jefferson County\, spending 14 years investigating abuse and neglect before moving into ongoing case management. In 2020\, she became the Parents Supporting Parents Supervisor\, leading a program that elevates parent voice to drive change within the child welfare system. She also supervises Family Teaming and co-chairs the Jefferson County Citizen Review Panel. \nRegistration is limited to 500 participants. Wisconsin Professionals with an existing PDS account will receive 1.5 training credits and a certificate of attendance for participating in this webinar. Other participants will receive a certificate of attendance. Each individual participant must register separately to receive credit.\nQuestions? Call us at 414-475-1246 or email info@coalitionforcyf.org \nRegister
