parenting

CASCW’s first issue of CW360° seeks to understand the experiences and outcomes of children of incarcerated parents and their families as they receive child welfare services.

Continuing the exploration of the intersection of child welfare and disability, this issue focuses on the experiences of parents with disabilities and mental illness (MI) in the child welfare system.

The focus of this issue of CW360 is supporting birth and foster parent partnerships and fostering collaboration among caregivers for children in care. In this issue, we explore the history and dynamics of these relationships, promising programs to promote birth and foster parent connections, and hear from many folks with lived child welfare experience.

In this podcast series, Marjorie Aunos hosts conversations exploring how parenting can be done differently and how professionals can best support parents with disabilities. Marjorie is a clinical psychologist, author, and researcher from Montreal who has dedicated her career to working with parents with intellectual disabilities and then also became a parent with disabilities herself.
