Ernest Hemingway wrote, "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." The film "Broken Places" explores why some children are permanently damaged by early adversity while others are able to thrive. #21NCCAN

We owe it to families to bring justice to those who are under-served and over-represented in our child welfare systems. #21NCCAN

[Dr. Aditi Bussells @aditisrivastav]

Jerry Milner: I’m going to ask you to stop using the following words in child welfare: foster child, birth parent, client, dysfunctional, & foster parent. Using different words can lead to change of mindset & perspective system wide. #21NCCAN

[NCCAN @NCCAN22]

Jerry Milner: The words we use matter. Stop using the word "dysfunctional" to describe families. #21NCCAN

[NCCAN @NCCAN22]

Jerry Milner: We need to stop judging vulnerable families for their vulnerability... and reconsider the level of suffering that must take place before we offer help. #21NCCAN

[NCCAN @NCCAN22]

Jerry Milner: Families must have access to the highest quality legal representation in those proceedings that can alter lives. #21NCCAN

Jerry Milner: Most of our families need help combating the poverty they are experiencing - their social isolation, lack of supports. #21NCCAN

[NCCAN @NCCAN22]

Jerry Milner: We need to see the humanity in the families we serve and help them feel connected. #21NCCAN

[NCCAN @NCCAN22]

Jerry Milner: We believe strongly that community-based programs that are culturally competent and draw upon families' strengths are one of our most powerful tools to help families avoid formal child welfare contact.

[NCCAN @NCCAN22]

Associate Commissioner Jerry Milner: The stories I have heard here this week have reaffirmed that a transformation of child welfare must occur. #21NCCAN

[NCCAN @NCCAN22]

This afternoon at 1:30, we will hold an advance screening the film "Broken Places" followed by a discussion with the director. Join us by live stream! https://t.co/EpDxILz8H7
