Dannette Smith informs us how the child welfare system works and how it has changed in response to changing conditions and better data. We touch on the family-centered practice of child welfare, and how social workers look at issues of neglect vs. abuse. how social workers, juvenile justice workers, and juvenile court judges work together to determine what is best for the child, and how best to strengthen families in danger of having children removed from the home. We also touch on behavioral health, tough love, and the social determinants of health.

The Evolution of Foster Care

Local and state governments, though often overshadowed by federal government, have tremendous impact on our quality of life. This podcast provides a valuable service by educating people on how to improve their own quality of life through civic engagement. Various organizations encourage residents to register and vote, but it does not appear that anyone is showing voters how to make good decisions when they do. It feels akin to hiring someone for a job without reviewing the job description. Local Matters changes that narrative by educating voters with short, clear, and unbiased civics lessons from a career local government professional, public speaker, and management consultant.
