The Institute for Child Welfare Innovation

It's not too late to join us tonight! The fun starts at 7pm CST! Register now!

People who live in poverty have so many tough decisions to make on a daily basis. Due to the pandemic, there has been the sharpest rise of poverty in the United States in over 50 years. What does that mean? So many Americans are suffering each day and they are not just the people who you see on the street without a place to call home. These citizens could be a family member, a close friend or neighbor. We would like to discuss this topic in an interactive way tomorrow, April 27, 2021 at 10:30 am CST. Please join us for this event by registering here: https://forchildwelfare.org/learning-labs #povertyawareness #learinglab #Family

We saw accountability in the trial of the Derek Chauvin yesterday. True justice will be seen when it is applied to all citizens. We must continue to fight for racial equity for every man, woman and child in this nation. #Justice #blacklivesmatter

We have all turned a blind eye to a person on the street asking for money, or someone pushing a cart with all their possessions. Our hearts go out to each of them. But poverty takes on other, less obvious forms and could be affecting many people around you; the family ahead of you in the checkout aisle or your cousin at family dinner. Poverty has touched so many lives, in more ways more than than any of us fully know. We would like to discuss this in an interactive and engaging environment on April 27, 2021 at 10:30 am CST. Please join us for this event, register here: https://forchildwelfare.org/learning-labs We hope to see you there! #forchildwelfare #learninglab #poverty #family
