On this week's episode we discuss getting school credit in juvenile facilities, suicide screening for foster youth, and new rules meant to expand housing support for people aging out of foster care.
Our guest this week is Sharon McDaniel, founder of Pennsylvania's A Second Chance, Inc. and president of the group Black Administrators in Child Welfare. We talk to McDaniel about how coronavirus has impacted her organization, and about what comes next in the ongoing discussion about racism inside the child welfare system.
