National Child Welfare Workforce Institute

We hope this message finds you well and thriving. This is our final social media post. Thanks to the generous funding provided by the Children’s Bureau, NCWWI has had the incredible privilege of supporting the child welfare workforce for 15 years. We will reach the end of our funding on September 30, 2024. As we wind down, we encourage you to read our last newsletter, https://bit.ly/4bD9iL6, which details how to save your favorite NCWWI resources. If you need help with NCWWI products or are looking for technical assistance with your workforce needs, please email Robin Leake at robin.leake@du.edu.
