We have finally begun to acknowledge that the real experts on the child welfare system are the thousands of people who have experienced the system as children or youth. It is only by centering these voices and listening, truly listening to what they are telling us that authentic change can happen. We hope this page is a small part of honoring and elevating the thoughts, feelings and ideas of first voice experts. It will continue to be a work in progress and we welcome submissions from anyone who has living experience in child welfare, regardless of where in the world that was or for how long. Scroll down to the Add Your Voice section for the submit form!
