The Florida Institute for Child Welfare is pleased to host our 4th annual research symposium. It is vital that we provide programs, services, and resources to assist our youth and young adults as they transition to independent living after they turn 18.
Day 1 Theme: Building Relationships. We have speakers who will discuss academic research and initiatives about relational permanency and the importance of having a consistent and committed adult in a young person’s life.
Day 2 Theme: Getting Plugged In. An overview will be provided of the programs and services that are offered by the Department of Children and Families and community-based care lead agencies. In addition, we will share findings from using photo voice methods to conduct research with youth, a research project exploring the Unconquered Scholars Program.
Both days will feature a panel of youth and young adults with lived experiences who will share their voices to provide the audience with key information for the participants to consider integrating into their work. CLICK HERE
