the Cascade Room in Upper Gwinn
Description
A dependency case results in removal of a child from their parent whereas the parent is required to comply with court mandates to reunify with their child including participation in classes, therapy, and visitations yet parents frequently battle with mental health, addiction, and partial understanding of legal systems (Stephens et al. 2018; Cleveland & Quas 2020). Research shows that less than 50% of children who leave foster care return to their parents therefore, reunification attempts need improvement (KIDS COUNT Data Center, n.d.). This proposed study will utilize an experimental design applying legal intervention videos to address a system wide lapse.
