BRYCS conducted an online assessment in the Spring 2003 which was distributed to child welfare administrators in all 50 states. The focus of this assessment was to find out more about the challenges public child welfare staff have in providing services to newcomer families. Responses were from directors, supervisors, and caseworkers from over 16 different states and the District of Columbia. Please take a moment to look at the data below which provides a brief overview of the preliminary findings.
