Webinar 2: The Continuum of Care

Faith to Action Initiative

This webinar looks at the range of alternative care for children who have been separated from parental care and emphasizes family care. Alternative care includes: kinship care, foster care, adoption, and formal residential care such as temporary rehabilitative care and small group homes. Large-scale institutional care is not recommended. This webinar looks at the importance of transitioning children to family care through reunification or alternative family care whenever possible. Key resources used and discussed in this webinar will draw from A Continuum of Care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children and Children, Orphanages, and Families: A Summary of Research to Help Guide Faith-Based Action.
