Spring 2009
In light of the cur­rent eco­nom­ic cri­sis and its impli­ca­tions for strug­gling fam­i­lies, it is imper­a­tive that the child wel­fare sys­tem adopt pol­i­cy reforms aimed at improv­ing the out­comes for vul­ner­a­ble chil­dren and fam­i­lies. This issue of Voice details how the Fos­ter­ing Con­nec­tions to Suc­cess and Increas­ing Adop­tions Act, passed in 2008, and oth­er polices that pro­mote per­ma­nence and equi­ty can be imple­ment­ed effectively.

Win­ter 2009
This edi­tion focus­es on crit­i­cal issues of sta­bil­i­ty for chil­dren, in par­tic­u­lar finan­cial sta­bil­i­ty and pover­ty.

This issue specif­i­cal­ly high­lights the work of First Jobs Maine, a Casey-spon­sored pro­gram that pre­pares fos­ter youth for enter­ing the work­force, and dis­cuss­es com­mon myths relat­ed to pover­ty and child neglect. 

Winter/​Spring 2007
In this edi­tion, Voice pays spe­cial atten­tion to youth in fos­ter care. It high­lights the out­comes of a con­fer­ence on youth per­ma­nence where teens share their per­spec­tives and expe­ri­ences in and about the system.

Spring 2005
This issue hon­ors Nation­al Fos­ter Care Month, fea­tures Khat­ib Waheed on dis­pro­por­tion­al­i­ty and inequity in the child wel­fare sys­tem, details fos­ter dads mak­ing it work, and shares learn­ing from the Fam­i­ly Resource Cen­ters Initiative. 

Win­ter 2005
This issue of Voice spot­lights many tru­ly out­stand­ing peo­ple, each cham­pi­oning chil­dren in dif­fer­ent ways: Geof­frey Cana­da, founder and pres­i­dent of the wide­ly respect­ed Harlem Children’s Zone; Ani­ta and Wayne Adams of Chester, Ver­mont, who have adopt­ed a fos­ter child who recent­ly returned safe­ly from a tour of duty in Iraq; and Bob Kline, a sea­soned social work­er in the Ver­mont Divi­sion of Casey Fam­i­ly Services. 

Sum­mer 2004
This issue focus­es on the alarm­ing lack of ade­quate ser­vices and sup­ports for ado­les­cents in care and tran­si­tion­ing from care into adult­hood. It high­lights the nation­al Blue Rib­bon Cam­paign for Nation­al Fos­ter Care Month, the KIDS COUNT Data Book release, and a col­lab­o­ra­tive endeav­or with the Yale Child Study Center. 

Spring 2004
This issue pays spe­cial trib­ute to the courage and resilience of tran­si­tion­ing fos­ter youth, to the strength and com­mit­ment of their fos­ter and adop­tive par­ents, and to the grow­ing legions of vol­un­teers who have stepped in to play a crit­i­cal role for youth at risk of veer­ing off track. The issue high­lights Nation­al Fos­ter Care Month in May. 

Win­ter 2004
This issue includes an arti­cle that shows how social work­ers can become the life­line that keeps fam­i­lies togeth­er. The issue also focus­es on sys­tems, strate­gies, and cam­paigns imple­ment­ed nation­wide to help improve fos­ter care. 

Fall 2004
