Description:
 

Is residential care 'inherently harmful'? This book argues that this conventional wisdom is wrong and is, itself, harmful to a significant number of children and youth.

The ‘Supporting Integration’ toolkit documents and shares good practice guidance for practitioners working with child migrants. The toolkit was developed as part of a three year project which involved research into the integration of children moving from the Middle East to Europe, and aims to enhance integration support and services, ensuring that children and young people are provided with a care that fosters their development and well-being.

This course examines UNICEF's approach to child protection systems strengthening, key interventions, and an assessment framework.

Beginning in 2023, the Faith and the Family forum will focus on Christian faith communities and their contributions to both the propagation and prevention of child-family separation across time and contexts.

Since care reform is a long and complex process, requiring collaboration between many diverse actors, with different change pathways in diverse contexts, the Changing the Way We Care initiative set out to learn from different demonstration countries, build national and regional knowledge, and reinforce global momentum for family care. This learning brief describes some of that journey.

This brief shares how the initiative used CLA related to the social service workforce strengthening and case management.

On December 14, 2023, Kheya Ganguly led a presentation on the Center for the Study of Social Policy's monthly Strengthening Families webinar. This presentation unpacked how to better understand how trauma affects practitioners and the ones they support. Attendees learned about new ways to conceptualize resilience by considering it rather as a transformation. 

During this webinar, participants will consider the following questions: When children’s lives and well-being are at serious risk, how can religious institutions and faith communities help to uphold commitments to children’s rights and protection and strengthen child-centered moral conscience? How do the impacts of war on children affect their mental health, moral compass, and capacity to empathize with others? Do these impacts on young minds risk aggravating and prolonging the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, jeopardizing possibilities of conflict transformation, peace, and security in the future? 

Government delegations, UN agencies and other multi-laterals, civil society organizations, researchers, and stakeholders working on the climate agenda will head to Dubai for the UN Conference of Parties Climate Change Conference (COP) from November 30 to December 12.
