Join us for a policy briefing to address the critical intersection between early childhood education and the child welfare system. This panel discussion will highlight the impact of educational access on child development, the role of early education in mitigating adverse childhood experiences, and the importance of collaboration between policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to address systemic inequities that negatively impact child well-being.

Since 2020, a broad array of experts, stakeholders, and people with lived experience have been working collaboratively to develop the 21st Century Research Agenda, which identifies research gaps in community-based family support, child welfare, and early childhood education. This policy briefing will examine the intersection between the 21st Century Research Agenda and policy change.

This event is sponsored by the American Academy for Social Work and Social Welfare with support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Casey Family Programs, Clark-Fox Policy Institute, Congressional Research Institute for Social Work and Policy, and the William T. Grant Foundation.
