Building Blocks for Effective Co-Parenting Facilitator’s Guide and its Companion Workbook are designed to offer tools and strategies to assist those who are responsible for raising children. Although “co-parenting” typically refers to separated or divorcing/divorced couples, Building Blocks provides fundamental concepts that are relevant to all who are responsible for the healthy growth and development of children. Readers will learn ways to reduce stress, lessen disruptions, and prevent unhealthy transitions. They will discover ways of working together while using a child-centered approach.

Publishing and Marketing Opportunities

Material published in Children’s Voice falls into two categories: Features and Departments. Features are relatively in-depth treatments of issues and events that affect children, youth, and families and those who work with them or on their behalf. The tone is feature-oriented — professional but informal.

CWLA publications, program, and policy staff, as well as experts and professionals in child welfare and related fields, write feature articles.  To submit an article, please first send a query letter to Rachel Adams, editor, at voice@cwla.org. Explore our writer’s guidelines here.

Launched in 1921, Child Welfare is a scholarly, research-driven, peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that links the latest findings in child welfare and related research with best practice, policy, and program development. Submissions are accepted via our online submissions form.

CWLA publishes textbooks, curricula, studies, and children’s books related to child welfare issues, policies, programs, and practices. Send book proposals and all other editorial/publications questions to Rachel Adams, Editor, at radams@cwla.org.
