The Institute accelerates the process of translating knowledge into direct practices, programs and policies that promote health and well-being, and provides analytic, data management and grant-writing support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nRecent ICFW Publications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Janczewski, C. E., & Nitkowski, J. (2023). Predicting mental and behavioral health service utilization among child welfare-involved caregivers: A machine learning approach. Children and Youth Services Review<\/em>, 155<\/em>, 107150.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A recent publication found a large portion of child welfare involved caregivers who reported needing mental health or substance misuse services did not receive services. Frequent contact with CPS workers, adverse experiences in adulthood, and court involvement in CPS case predicted service uptake.

\n\n\n\nStrong Families, Thriving Children, Connected Communities Initiative \u2013 Economic Stability Critical Pathway<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By Gabe McGaughey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Economic security plays a crucial role in reducing stress, contributing to a sense of well-being, and fostering healthy parenting and parent-child interactions. When discussing the biggest challenges that put families at risk for child welfare involvement due to neglect, SFTCCC participants consistently pointed to \u2018poverty\u2019, its associated struggles, and the stress it generates as the key obstacles to family functioning and child well-being. Child neglect is more likely in families that are experiencing an overload of stress related to the weight of poverty, which can overload parents\u2019 abilities to provide the supportive relationships children need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ripple Effects of Poverty on Parenting and Family Dynamics<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Since the first round table, SFTCCC participants have identified poverty as the biggest challenge facing the families they work with, one that people working in family preservation programs feel like they lack tools to address. The stressors of poverty are complex and represent a constellation of challenges, from housing insecurity<\/a>, economic shocks, lack of access to childcare, food insecurity, and navigating the benefits cliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Wisconsin law states that family separation due to neglect should only happen for reasons other than poverty, economic insecurities are common among families with children entering the foster care system. Nationally, nearly 85%<\/strong> of families investigated by CPS earn below 200%<\/strong> of the poverty line. Children from economically insecure households are more likely to face maltreatment and neglect (Drake, 2014).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poverty can lead to chronic stress, which negatively impacts parenting and parent-child interactions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
High levels of stress caused by poverty can result in parents becoming more irritable, less patient, and exacerbate mental health and substance use challenges. Parents experiencing financial strain may have limited time and resources to focus on their children\u2019s needs, affecting the quality of their interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When parents are overloaded by the stressors of poverty, it can negatively affect their ability to engage in healthy parenting practices, it harms their mental health, child development, and wellbeing. This includes being less responsive to their child\u2019s needs, having difficulty setting boundaries, and exhibiting harsher discipline methods.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBreaking the Cycle: Supporting Family Economic Stability<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
To improve parent-child interactions and overall parenting, it is essential to address the root causes of poverty-induced stress and support family economic stability. This includes increasing access to resources such as affordable housing, healthcare, and education, as well as implementing policies to reduce income inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learning from innovative new initiatives in this space, broadening our network, and collectively advancing policy solutions are all opportunities for SFTCCC participants to contribute to moving forward. By creating a more supportive environment for families, we can help alleviate the stressors associated with poverty, thereby promoting healthy parenting and fostering stronger parent-child relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nOverloaded: Understanding Neglect Season 2 Coming Soon!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By Luke Waldo<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
We currently live in a time where over 90% of Americans are connected to each other and the world through smart phones, internet access, and social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, the US Surgeon General released a report this year titled \u201cOur Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation\u201d, which calls out the fact that 1 in 4 Wisconsinites report that they only sometimes or never get the social and emotional support they need; and only 4 in 10 American adults said that they feel very connected to others in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Wisconsin, Native American and Black families make up about 13% of our population, and yet make up 27% of all reports to Child Protective Services (CPS), 34% of all CPS investigations, 38% of all family separations, and a staggering 47% of group home placements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, Native Americans and Black professionals in the three systems that contribute to the majority of reports to CPS \u2013 the education, law enforcement, and healthcare systems \u2013 are underrepresented, in some cases as low as 5% of that system\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How might we address the root causes of poverty-induced stress and support family economic stability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How might we strengthen social connectedness for our communities, caregivers, and children?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How might we foster authentic and inclusive community collaboration among our systems and organizations, service providers, communities, and families, so that we can effectively address the historical and current inequities that have resulted in disproportionate rates of family separations among families of color and poor families?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And how might we diversify and support our workforce and elevate and empower the contribution of families and staff with lived experience in our prevention services and the child welfare system to advance equity and justice for all families?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In season 2 of Overloaded: Understanding Neglect<\/a>, <\/strong>we will be confronting these conflicting realities and complex questions as we explore our Strong Families, Thriving Children, Connected Communities\u2019<\/a> four Critical Pathways<\/a>, our roadmaps for discovering and developing innovative solutions to these wicked problem. Through the first year of our Strong Families initiative, which included season 1 of this podcast series, we were able to align the insights and experiences of those who know these issues best with the evidence that has shown promise in advancing meaningful solutions. This collaborative effort identified four critical pathways \u2013 Economic Stability<\/a>, Social Connectedness<\/a>, Community Collaboration<\/a>, and Workforce Inclusion and Innovation<\/a> \u2013 that will shape the future of our initiative that aspires to reduce family separations for reasons of neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join me, Luke Waldo, as I explore these Critical Pathways with research and policy experts\u00a0Clare Anderson from Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago<\/a>,\u00a0Mark Cabaj of From Here 2 There<\/a>,\u00a0Tim Grove of Wellpoint Care Network<\/a>,\u00a0Linda Hall of Wisconsin\u2019s Office of Children\u2019s Mental Health<\/a>, my Institute colleague\u00a0Josh Mersky of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee<\/a>,\u00a0Rebecca Murray of Wisconsin\u2019s Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board<\/a>,\u00a0Jermaine Reed of Fresh Start Family Services<\/a>, and\u00a0Liz Weaver of the Tamarack Institute<\/a>. Additionally, we will shine a light on these Critical Pathways through the lived experience experts of many of my close colleagues at Children\u2019s Wisconsin\u2019s child welfare and child maltreatment prevention programs and the caregivers with whom they have worked closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We believe neglect is preventable. Take a journey with us on our Critical Pathways to discover some of the strategies that can help us make that belief a reality for our families and communities. The conversations begin on Wednesday, December 6th<\/strong> when we premiere the first episode of season 2 of Overloaded: Understanding Neglect<\/a> wherever you listen to your podcasts. Then come back each week on Wednesday to listen to the rest of the series.
