The FPP isn't a comprehensive solution, however - the five programs across the state can work with only a few hundred of the 40,000 children in the DCF caseload. But we believe "it could be a model for what a child welfare agency could do,” as Susan Elsen told @kbrownreports.

[Karen Brown @kbrownreports]

Separating a child from their parents can be traumatic, even briefly. “If it's not necessary to protect kids, then all we're doing is harming them.”

Listen to this exquisite 9-minute radio essay by New England Public Media's @kbrownreports about the plumber battling cancer who comes to work on her house. Public radio at its finest.

"I'm going to throw something at.....the next person who says 'it's all going to work out...'" A common sentiment among people in our new series - with @nirv4ni - on @nepublicmedia on how hard it is to find affordable rents. https://t.co/VC49TUemUh
