The Power of Now:

Claiin Your Destiny


2/24

The child welfare

system is not just about

foster care anymore.

The number of children in foster care has

been safely declining nationwide. Find out

why and what that has meant for the

communities you cover.

Casey Family Programs has created A Child Welfare

Resource Guide for Journalists to help you access information

on child welfare trends and up-to-date statistics.

Visit our booth to pick up a copy of the guide and learn more

about the goals of safe children, stable families and supportivecommunities.

Casey Family Programs is the nations largest operating

foundation working in partnership with child welfare systems to

keep children safe and establish lifelong connections to stable

families and supportive communities.
