Little is known about the collective impact of these programs, or if there is a benefit to multiple camp experiences. To address this, data were collected from 2,260 youth who were campers at one of 16 sibling reunification programs in the U.S. or Australia between 2013-2019. Increases in resilience, decreases in sibling support, and decreases in sibling conflict were observed among first-time campers. For repeat campers, changes to resilience were greatest during youths’ first year of camp.

Based on interviews with the network members of 150 children entering foster care, four barriers (criminal history, child welfare history, domestic violence, and substance abuse) were submitted to a latent profile analysis. Two barrier profiles were identified: a lower-barrier profile (87%) and a higher-barrier profile (13%). These results suggest that barriers are common but not widespread across the networks of most children, with implications for what caseworkers can expect when working with families.KEYWORDS: foster carechild welfare systemkinship networkfictive kinsocial supportbarriers Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationNotes on contributorsScott C.

Simultaneously, protests and anti-racist uprisings against police violence occurred worldwide. This mixed method study examined how a group of racially diverse resource parents navigated these two pandemics. Resource parents (N = 527) in Los Angeles County were surveyed about concerns related to COVID-19, racial injustice, and the sociopolitical climate. Quantitative findings revealed that increased difficulty coping with COVID-19 was associated with the increased reported impact of events surrounding racial injustice.

This review aims to synthesize the existing literature regarding the relationship between income-level poverty and child maltreatment in the United States. Of the 27 studies included, approximately 40% measured poverty using only income indicators, and 71% measured child maltreatment using administrative data. While the type of child maltreatment varied across studies, the associations generally revealed that higher income decreased the risk of child maltreatment, or families living in poverty had a higher risk of child maltreatment. The current study proposed several child welfare-related implications based on the findings.KEYWORDS: Povertychild maltreatmentsystematic reviewincomewelfare benefit Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

The perceived impact of this change upon service delivery is largely unknown, however. The purpose of this study was to describe how a large child welfare agency shifted to telehealth delivery, including investigating barriers and innovative strategies that were undertaken to resolve obstacles and enhance engagement and the provision of services.Method In September, 2020, direct service providers, supervisors and clinic directors at a large, Southeastern child welfare agency completed a survey that tapped into the perceived impact of telehealth on service delivery, and barriers and benefits of telehealth delivery. Twenty-six (n = 26) individuals completed the survey.Results Over half of participants reported an improvement in service delivery through the use of telehealth, and most saw it as being beneficial to both families and staff. Few participants believed that services were negatively impeded by telehealth.The main barrier to telehealth delivery was technology access and navigation (both on the part of families and staff).Discussion Telehealth was largely perceived as a facilitator to child welfare service delivery; implications and use of remote platforms are discussed.KEYWORDS: Child welfare systeCOVID-19service delivery during the pandemicperceived barriers and facilitators to telehealthImpact of telehealth on service provision Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsMary C AcriMary C.
