The Institute develops, implements and disseminates validated prevention and intervention strategies that are accessible in real-world settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scaling Storytelling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By Gabriel McGaughey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
At its core, storytelling is more than entertainment; it\u2019s a fundamental human experience that bridges gaps and builds connections. It offers a unique lens through which we can view the world, highlighting the nuances of the human condition, fostering empathy, and spotlighting social inequities. Stories have the power to simplify complex issues, making them accessible and relatable to a wider audience. This emotional resonance is crucial in advocating for change, as it motivates individuals to act, whether through advocacy, donations, or spreading awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Overloaded?
<\/strong>A key inspiration in our framing work is the Frameworks Institute’s “Reframing Childhood Adversity: Promoting Upstream Approaches” report. It emphasizes the importance of framing childhood adversity as a public preventable, and solvable issue, highlighting the role of external conditions in shaping health and development outcomes. The report offers recommendations on how to shift public perception and policy towards preventive measures and resilience-building, advocating for a collective responsibility approach to child welfare. It underscores the need for solutions that address systemic causes rather than focusing solely on individual or family-level interventions.
The frame “overloaded” is particularly important because it offers a metaphor that helps the public understand the stress and pressures on families that contribute to childhood adversity. This metaphor shifts the focus from blaming family dysfunction to recognizing the external pressures (like financial insecurity, housing instability, or hunger) that overload families. By conceptualizing families as “overloaded.” the communication shifts towards solution that “lessen the load” or “manage the weight,” making it clear that the issues are systemic and solvable through collective action. This framing encourages empathy and understanding, avoiding stigmatization and promoting supportive interventions. This frame has been well received in all of our SFTCCC community engagement and is the inspiration for our podcast, Overloaded: Understanding Neglect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThe importance of storytelling in driving social change can\u2019t be overstated. It serves as tangible proof of concept, demonstrating that change is not only possible but happening. By sharing success stories of transformation and resilience, we offer hope and inspire action among communities and stakeholders. The narrative approach amplifies the impact of our work, fostering greater public awareness and altering entrenched mental models. In essence, storytelling is a strategic tool that can shift perspectives, mobilize resources, and influence policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Framing shapes how information is presented, influencing people\u2019s perceptions, decisions, and actions by determining the content, delivery, and what\u2019s omitted, including values, metaphors, and messengers involved. Framing shapes the overarching narrative that influences how people think, feel, and act regarding an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Framing examples that the ICFW has used in the past include terms like \u201ctoxic stress\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and \u201coverloaded families\u201d<\/a>\u00a0were both frames that were developed by the\u00a0Frameworks Institute<\/a>. Through the unique opportunity in the\u00a0Change in Mind Institute\u00a0grant from Social Current, ICFW\u2019s Children\u2019s leadership team was able to get trained in framing, practice among peers, and get feedback. Both storytelling and framing should be tools in the 21st century changemaker toolkit, however having the time to get trained and gain master in both while serving families directly, has numerous barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the ICFW, we recognize the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to change the way we tell stories. In our journey to support systems change, we are exploring how AI can create efficiencies in cultivating nonfiction stories from our communities and apply framing techniques and principles framing to create openings for our audience to think differently about the complex challenges facing families. AI technologies offer the capability to take raw data, apply framing principles, to create drafts of short narratives for a wide range of uses. The human editorial perspective is still key. AI doesn\u2019t use framing or metaphors perfectly, and the need for understanding the \u2018why\u2019 of the story has to have the human element. However, if you are a professional who is too busy doing the work to develop your framing and\/or storytelling skills, or if you\u2019ve ever felt that editing was easier than writing from scratch, the use of AI that the ICFW is piloting provides a path to efficiently cultivate stories focused on changing systemic challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SFTCCC community\u2019s invaluable feedback has significantly shaped our storytelling process, with promising developments soon to be showcased on our Instagram timeline. This collaborative effort will inform a virtual training series debuting in May, further enriching our storytelling and AI utilization toolkit. Additionally, the ICFW team will illuminate these themes at the Together for Children Seminar on April 8th. Storytelling\u2019s pivotal role in fostering social change is evident. By harnessing AI to streamline storytelling, we aim to empower changemakers across the board, supporting the well-being of families overloaded by stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nBuilding Brains with Relationships<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By Meghan Christian<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The West Allis Health Department invited the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being to speak on topics of toxic stress and resilience, and their effects on individuals, relationships and organizations. Staff including dietitians, environmental specialists, nurses, support staff and more spent their morning together. They took time out of their morning to learn and practice tools that can help individuals and organizations embed trauma-informed care in day to day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICFW staff are continuing to engage with the Child Witness team at Sojourner Family Peace Center in 2024. Last year, staff were provided the opportunity to learn about what promotes and what derails brain development, resilience and simple ways to connect with kids. This year, the focus will be on trauma-informed care, facilitating difficult conversations, co-regulation and how their specific team can incorporate this material into their program design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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
Recent ICFW Publications \u2013 Family Drug Treatment Court<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
ICFW recently published two papers from a longitudinal mixed-methods investigation of Milwaukee\u2019s Family Drug Treatment Court program (Mersky, PI). Results from an impact study revealed that parents who participated in the program were significantly more likely to reunify with their children (see Mersky et al., 2023<\/a>). Findings from interviews with program participants and staff highlighted barriers to and facilitators of program participation and success in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic (see Romain Dagenhart et al., 2024<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nCommunity Engagement & Systems Change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Institute develops community-university partnerships to promote systems change that increases the accessibility of evidence-based and evidence-informed practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strong Families, Thriving Children, Connected Communities Initiative \u2013 Community Collaboration Critical Pathway<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By Leah Cerwin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Embracing Authentic Community Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authentic community collaboration brings together a diverse group of changemakers to share power and learning that animates co-design of solutions for social change that directly impacts their respective communities. By engaging the lived experience of families, communities, service providers, mandated reporters, and organizational and systems leaders, together we can improve systems and service coordination that prioritizes family empowerment and support over mandated reporting. To accomplish this, we will need to reach across many systems, build trust through power-sharing with each other and the families that we serve, so that we may amplify our impact. Together, we can advocate for policy changes, share best practices, and create a network of support that fosters the well-being of families, particularly families of color who have been disproportionately affected by family separations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Essential Ingredients for Authentic Community Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Open communication:<\/strong> Encourage honest and transparent conversations among changemakers to promote understanding and empathy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Shared language and goals:<\/strong> Establish common language and objectives that everyone can share and understand, ensuring collective efforts are rooted in lived experience and evidence, and focusing on achieving meaningful change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Inclusive decision-making:<\/strong> Involve all those impacted in the decision-making process, respecting the diverse perspectives and experiences they bring to the table.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The Need for Systems Change and Coordination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Wisconsin, families of color experience disproportionate rates of family separation and longer stays in foster care. 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. To truly combat historical inequities that are further exacerbated by family separation, we must advocate for systems change that addresses the root causes of these issues. At the same time, we have thousands of non-profits statewide that support our children, families and communities, yet families too often need support or services that are unknown to them or hard to access. Our greatest challenges, therefore, lie in how we coordinate our services to ensure that they are meeting the real needs of all that seek them. We must work smarter, not harder, to elevate solutions to ensure all families can access the help they need when they need it. By building bridges between service providers, community organizations, and the families we serve, we can create a more equitable, cohesive, and impactful support network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Path to Community Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
By fostering authentic and inclusive community collaboration among our systems, service providers, communities, and families, we can effectively address the historical inequities that have resulted in disproportionate rates of family separations among families of color and poor families. Through co-design with families and service providers, we can shift more efforts and resources towards community empowerment and maltreatment prevention, improve our systems and service coordination, and strengthen social connectedness and trust, which can alleviate the stress that overloads families and reduce the risk of neglect and family separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recently concluded our second season of Overloaded: Understanding Neglect<\/a> where we confronted the challenging realities and complex questions from season 1 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 problems. 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 host Luke Waldo as we 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 shined 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. Explore the 11 episodes of season 2 of Overloaded: Understanding Neglect<\/a> wherever you listen to your podcasts, and then keep an eye out for upcoming events that will engage you and our community to discuss the pathways to solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
