2017-04-032017-04-032010https://hdl.handle.net/11299/185439Child Welfare 360° (CW360°) is an annual publication that provides communities, child welfare professionals, and other human service professionals, comprehensive information on the latest research, policies and practices in a key area affecting child well-being today. The publication uses a multidisciplinary approach for its robust examination of an important issue in child welfare practice and invites articles from key stakeholders, including families, caregivers, service providers, a broad array of child welfare professionals (including educators, legal professionals, medical professionals and others), and researchers. Social issues are not one dimensional and cannot be addressed from a single vantage point. We hope that reading CW360° enhances the delivery of child welfare services across the country while working towards safety, permanency and well-being for all children and families being served.Stability is often elusive for children and youth in out-of-home care. This issue presents a variety of research findings and perspectives in order to address this need. Articles include research and federal policy related to placement stability, ways in which workers, advocates, and agencies can help youth achieve stability, and perspectives of individuals directly and indirectly involved in helping youth attain stability.enOther
