We cover this past legislative session and the disappointing losses for those fighting for an improvement in child welfare in Washington State along with the improvements he's fighting to make (that include bypassing Olympia and working with local governments), what citizens who want to see change can do in the meantime, and what the implementation of these current laws have continued to do to families in our state.You won't want to miss it!Resources Mentioned:Defender App https://apps.apple.com/us/app/washington-defender/id6736606391Child Fatality Reportshttps://dcyf.wa.gov/practice/oiaa/reports/child-fatality/child-welfare#childwelfare #washingtonstate #fostercare #adoption #childsafety....................................................................................Want to know more about Fostering Change WA?
