Caregivers are at the heart of family-centered care reform efforts. They are the critical link to ensuring that those who need care get it in a way that allows them to thrive.

In August 2022, AudiViz launched a Peer-to-Peer Family Support initiative focused on caregivers and children with hearing deficiencies to advocate for improved services at the local level, influence decision-making of local…

The origin story of the Catholic Church in the United States includes a dependency on slave labor and sales to sustain itself and build its institutions. In 1838, a group of America’s most prominent Catholic priests, the Society of Jesuits, sold 272 enslaved people to save Georgetown University, their largest mission project and the first Catholic institution of higher learning in the United States. The sale included the separation of children from parents, a common feature of the slave trade. In the…

До повномасштабного вторгнення росії в лютому 2022 року Україна мала один з найвищих показників інституціалізації дітей в Європі. Значний відсоток цих дітей – ймовірно, більшість – мають інвалідність.1 Доведено, що інституціалізація завдає шкоди всім дітям, але на найбільший ризик наражаються немовлята та діти з інвалідністю.2
Більше того, з початком війни діти, які перебувають в закладах інституційного догляду, наражаються на підвищений ризик різних форм шкоди порівняно з їхніми однолітками, які виховуються в сім’ях.3 Крім того, труднощі, спричинені війною – внутрішнє переміщення та…
This paper investigates the effects of a migration control policy in mega cities after 2014 in China on parent–child separation. One of the key initiatives of the policy is to restrict the access of migrant children to public education in cities. The authors employ two empirical approaches: one that leverages variations in policy implementation pressure across cities, and another that exploits variations in restrictions on migrant children’s access to education across cities and over time.
The authors found that the policy contributes to an increased probability of children being left…
Abstract:
This mixed-methods systematic review asks what is known about children’s perspectives on contact with birth parents when in out-of-home care.

The frequency of the identified factors across all included research was determined and qualitative and quantitative syntheses were performed.
The results reveal that children hold thoughts and views on several aspects of contact with their birth…

Before the full-scale invasion by Russia in February, 2022, Ukraine had one of the highest rates of child institutionalization in Europe. A significant percentage of these children – probably the majority – have disabilities. Institutionalization has been proven to be inherently harmful for all children, but babies and children with disabilities are at the highest risk of harm.
Moreover, since the war began, institutionalized children have been at a heightened risk of various forms of harm compared with their peers raised in families. In addition, the hardships caused by war – internal…
