Domestic Violence and Child Welfare Reform
A Three-Part Series
CWLA, The Family Violence Prevention Fund, and the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges are pleased to announce the Fall 2007 series Domestic Violence and Child Welfare Reform, a teleconference series supported by the Office on Violence Against Women and the Department of Health and Human Services. This forum will discuss the critical issue and prevalence of the overlap of domestic violence and child maltreatment cases within child welfare, share lessons learned from the national Greenbook Initiative, disseminate emerging research on the issues of domestic violence and childhood exposure to violence, and inform the field about innovative policy and practice. This three-part series will focus on the following topics: providing an overview and lessons learned from the 5 year national demonstration initiative to implement the guidelines released in 1999 by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges in Effective Interventions in Domestic Violence and Child Maltreatment: Guidelines for Policy and Practice (also known as "The Greenbook"); discuss promising strategies in collaborating across child welfare, domestic violence agencies, batterer's intervention programs, and Family and Dependency Courts to enhance services for families experiencing domestic violence and child maltreatment; and to share innovative policy and practice changes that have been made across the country.
