Reflecting on the Child Welfare and Domestic Violence Advocacy Partnership

Barbra Grimmer and Shellie Ryan--TCFV CPS Policy Team--join Sarah and William this week to talk about Barbra's and Shellie's partnership and the greater collaboration between the domestic violence advocacy and child welfare systems. They discuss their learning journeys, including successes and pitfalls. Together they all reflect on the issues which arise at the intersection of these two, oftentimes very different, systems.

If you have any questions or want to discuss this topic further, please reach out to us at prevention@tcfv.org.
