Immigration, Child Welfare and Borders

A conference hosted by the Migration and Child Welfare National Network

Child Welfare Migration Roundtable

In July 2006 American Humane and Loyola University Chicago Graduate School of Social Work hosted a roundtable to discuss migration in the Americas and its impact on child well-being and child welfare policy, systems, and services. As a resource initiative, the roundtable will stimulate new research and program innovation, inform and shape policy development, and focus greater attention toward improving child welfare systems, practice, and professional training.

Over 70 leaders in the areas of migration and family studies, demography, immigration and family law, and child welfare services convened in Chicago on the Loyola University North Shore campus to discuss migration flows in the Americas, migration and the family, immigration policy and legal practice, migration and child well-being, and service challenges and innovative responses.
