On this week’s episode, we discuss the slow-developing effort to connect current and former foster youth with federal pandemic assistance, and a new bill that would extend the deadline for it. Also: the Family First Act clearinghouse reconsiders some programs; federal judges toss three child welfare lawsuits; Supreme Court asked to decide the fate of the Indian Child Welfare Act; and Maryland commission recommends an end to automatic transfers from the juvenile justice system. Rae Baker of the Minnesota Prison Doula Project joins to discuss her organization’s efforts to help expecting moms in prison as they prepare for birth, and a precedent-setting state law the project successfully pushed for that will offer a chance for these moms to stay with their newborns outside of the prison walls. Reading RoomHealers in the System: From The Health Field to Child Welfare Leadership  Register for FREE!https://imprintnews.org/webinarsPandemic Relief Funds for California Foster Youth Slow to Reach Needy Young Adults as Deadline Approacheshttps://bit.ly/38sTtrgYouth Voice: As Deadline for Federal Pandemic Relief Looms, Fosters Are Being Failed Yet Againhttps://bit.ly/2YLab3CFamily First Clearinghouse Approves Two New Services, Will Reconsider Ohio Kinship Navigatorhttps://bit.ly/3yoV2RvClearinghouse Abruptly Downgrades Family Centered Treatmenthttps://bit.ly/2MYNxiLJudges Toss Class Actions Against Ohio, West Virginiahttps://bit.ly/3ii6lpSBoth Sides Ask Supreme Court to Decide Fate of Indian Child Welfare Acthttps://bit.ly/3trJqw9Minneapolis Lawyers Rely on ‘Gold Standard’ Law to Keep Native American Families Togetherhttps://bit.ly/2QwINme
