Building on the results of the survey, we held eight focus groups across Minnesota where direct-service professionals from child welfare and education sectors discussed barriers to, as well as creative strategies for, enabling work across systems. All focus group conversations included people representing both child welfare and education sectors.This infographic summarizes the findings of those focus groups.

Through its sustained investment in supporting Minnesota families affected by divorce or separation with its Parents Forever™1 parent education program and its partnership with Hennepin County’s Co-parent Court2 project, University of Minnesota Extension is able to explore the intersection of research about coparenting with the practice of court-mandated parent education programs for both divorcing and separating nevermarried parents. Thus, this article summarizes the latest research findings on selected coparenting issues that have practical importance to both divorcing and nevermarried parents living apart. This article also highlights recent research on the practice of parent education as it affects both divorcing and separated never-married parents, as well as a foundational discussion of coparenting issues and parent-education practice from the experiences and perspectives of parent-education stakeholders. We, the authors, also have included illustrative quotations from stakeholders in the Parents Forever™ program and in Hennepin County Coparent Court — quotations cited in recent studies of the Parents Forever™ program (PF) (Olson, Brady & Marzcak, 2012) and Co-parent Court (CPC) (Hardman, Ruhland & Becher, 2014).Item Children with Incarcerated Parents - Considering Children's Outcomes in the Context of Family Experiences(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension, Children, Youth and Family Consortium, 2013-06) Shlafer, Rebecca; Gerrity, Erica; Ruhland, Ebony; Wheeler, Marc; Michaels, CariIn this issue, learn about children of incarcerated parents, who are often overlooked in our schools, clinics and social service settings.

The review process was informed by an examination of book lists created by other organizations and agencies and the use of an online retailer. With the exception of a few chapter books, each book was independently read and reviewed by two reviewers combined into one review; recommended ages and ratings were averaged across reviewers.Item Collaboration Across Minnesota Child Welfare and Education Systems(University of Minnesota Extension, Center for Family Development, 2014) Langworthy, Sara; Larson, AnitaIn March of 2014, University of Minnesota Extension Children Youth & Family Consortium (CYFC) in partnership with the Minnesota chapter of the Child Welfare and Education Learning Community (CWELC) developed a brief online survey to explore barriers to, and factors for collaboration across education and child welfare systems.

This issue addresses systems-level changes that can help improve communication and service delivery and ultimately reduce trauma for children. The pool of literature pertaining to trauma-related systems change is limited. However, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) has identified several Essential Elements of Trauma-Informed Child Welfare Practice (http://www.nctsnet.org/nctsn_assets/pdfs/CWT3_SHO_EEs.pdf). To better understand how child welfare systems are incorporating these elements into their work, representatives from three different geographical areas were interviewed for this issue. Respondents represent different areas of expertise and utilize different lenses from which they view the child welfare system. Respondents were chosen because of their perspectives about what trauma-informed child welfare looks like as well as their knowledge of specific practices related to assessment, reducing traumatic symptoms, coordination of services, and public policy. This issue illustrates how child welfare systems are changing to better meet the trauma needs of children, with specific attention to policies and practices in MinnesotaItem CYFC Monthly, April 2013(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2013-04) Children, Youth & Family Consortium; Myers, JudyItem CYFC Monthly, April 2014(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2014-04) Children, Youth & Family Consortium; Michaels, Cari; Langworthy, SaraItem CYFC Monthly, April 2015(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2015-04) Children, Youth & Family ConsortiumItem CYFC Monthly, April 2016(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2016-04) Children, Youth & Family Consortium; Marczak, MaryItem CYFC Monthly, August 2013(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2013-08) Children, Youth & Family Consortium; Myers, JudyItem CYFC Monthly, August 2014(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2014-08) Children, Youth & Family Consortium; Myers, JudyItem CYFC Monthly, August 2015(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2015-08) Children, Youth & Family Consortium; Langworthy, SaraItem CYFC Monthly, December 2013(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2013-12) Children, Youth & Family ConsortiumItem CYFC Monthly, December 2014(Children, Youth & Family Consortium, 2014-12) Children, Youth & Family Consortium
