Extending Foster Care to Age 21: Benefits, Costs, and Opportunities for States

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (Eastern)

A panel of experts at this web conference will examine this fast evolving area of child welfare policy and practice. Panelists will analyze financial implications of extending care to age 21, share research findings about programming designed to help foster youth make the transition to adulthood, and discuss specific state initiatives and innovative ways in which states are sharing and building upon what they learn about supporting youth in their care. The web conference is free, and space is limited. (If multiple people in an office want to participate, they should have one person register and view the web conference as a group.)
