Children's Summer Institute

Catalog description

The focus of this year's class is on the safety nets in place - and needed - to support children and families and prevent entry into our child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Over the course of the week, students from different graduate programs will engage in an interdisciplinary exploration of a series of complex questions involving children's best interests, and the policy and practice considerations and challenges impacting government decision making when it comes to reimagining our current structures.
