National Child Welfare Workforce Institute - Learning, Leading Changing

National eUpdate

Timely, Targeted News & Information from NCWWI | May 2017 | Issue 21

Real Stories, Real Impact

We know the critical role that the child welfare workforce plays in the lives of vulnerable children, youth and families, and that child welfare workforce development efforts matter. Those on the front lines of these kind of change efforts have inspiring stories to tell, so we've created the Real Stories project to share them with the field!

Our two newest stories:


Leading Through Understanding the Role of Life Stories

When Preparation Meets Opportunity

NCWWI Online Learning Products
