The document summarizes key findings from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study about the prevalence and health impacts of ACEs. Some of the main points covered include:
- ACEs are common in Wisconsin, with over half of adults experiencing at least one type of abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction during childhood.
- Experiencing ACEs increases the risk of health problems, risky behaviors, and lower socioeconomic status as an adult.
- Preventing ACEs could significantly improve public health by reducing health risks and utilization of social services. Ongoing data collection and building more trauma-informed systems of care are important next steps.

FidelityEHR is an electronic health record designed to support coordinated care models and improve outcomes for children and youth with behavioral and mental health challenges. It was developed based on evidence-based practices like system of care and wraparound models. FidelityEHR allows for family-driven, youth-guided care by capturing each person's insights and preferences. It also supports culturally competent, individualized, and community-based care. The platform facilitates team collaboration and tracks outcomes to help organizations deliver high-fidelity coordinated care.
Kinship care, where children are raised by extended family instead of parents, is a growing practice. Kinship caregivers face challenges including lack of financial support, legal ambiguity, and stress. They have greater needs for parenting skills, health resources, and emotional support compared to non-kinship foster care. Children raised in kinship care are at risk for behavioral, academic, and emotional issues stemming from their family situations, but may benefit from greater family connection and stability compared to non-kin foster care. Effective support strategies include support groups, education programs, and ensuring kinship caregivers' needs are met separately from children's supervision needs.
1.6 Improving Outcomes for Youth Aging Out of Foster Care
Speaker: Brenda Fonseca
Nearly 28,000 youth emancipated from foster care in 2010, and it is imperative that they have access to services, affordable housing options, education, and employment to prepare them to live independently.

SPARC Webinar: Child Welfare and the Affordable Care Actmdanielsfirstfocus
The document discusses opportunities for child welfare agencies and health systems to better coordinate and connect under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It notes that while Medicaid/health and child welfare systems are both overwhelmed, they can benefit each other. The ACA expands coverage, benefits like behavioral health, and promotes integrated care. It provides three major opportunities - for parents, children, and youth aging out of foster care. For the latter group, the ACA requires states to enroll former foster youth in Medicaid until age 26. The document outlines action steps stakeholders can take to prepare for these changes and ensure foster youth obtain and maintain coverage. It emphasizes the need to start planning and preparing now to fully capitalize on ACA opportunities.
Rider, 2005 Comparison of CW-BH Values and PrinciplesFrank Rider

The resource requirements to launch The Hub include a $24,095 startup capital raised through grants, crowdsourcing, and donations.
Hertfordshire County Council adopted a whole systems approach to population mental health in October 2016 to better promote prevention. This approach was informed by 20 "must dos" like good parenting, school mental health programs, adult resilience training, and reducing loneliness. In 2018, the county signed the Prevention Concordat for Better Mental Health to further develop this approach. The 20 areas are being progressed, with a focus on four priorities: improving young people's mental wellbeing through better emotional support, earlier identification of issues, easier access to help, and reducing stigma.

The document provides an overview of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its implementation in California. It discusses how the ACA expands Medicaid (Medi-Cal) coverage and creates health insurance exchanges to cover the uninsured. It also addresses eligibility, enrollment, plan options, and the roles of social workers in outreach and advocacy.
This document discusses extending foster care supports to age 21 in Ohio. It argues that abruptly cutting off support at age 18 often leads to poor outcomes like homelessness and lack of education. Extending Care And Responsibility Equivalency (CARE) to age 21 would provide stability, consistency, and support through independent living services, foster care room and board, case planning, and judicial oversight. This could help more foster youth complete higher education and earn higher lifetime incomes. The campaign aims to ensure youth have a voice in planning, are not cut off without support at 18, and receive oversight and accountability to lead to better outcomes.

It provides details on accessing registry information, timelines for removal of names, and discusses issues like inconsistent definitions of abuse and applicability of res judicata.
Guardianships can provide legal permanency for children in foster care under certain circumstances. They are often seen as more legally durable than custody but more flexible than adoption. Some key issues discussed include the inappropriate use of temporary guardianships to close child welfare cases without providing services, as well as a lack of clear procedures for handling cases transferred from probate to juvenile court. In response, the Division of Family and Children Services implemented a policy prohibiting the pursuit of temporary guardianships during child welfare involvement.
Deborah Burrus, State Permanency Director, GA Division of Family and Children Services, presents information about legal guardianship and how it differs from adoption.

Making reasonable efforts through effective case planningbartoncenter
The document discusses reasonable efforts in child welfare cases. It defines reasonable efforts as doing for families and children what we would want done for our own families if in similar circumstances. It says reasonable efforts are required to preserve and reunify families before removal, to prevent removal, and to make return home possible. Reasonable efforts are everybody's responsibility, and passivity is complicity. Timely delivery of services can be as important as the services themselves to constitute reasonable efforts.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
