Child Welfare and Substance Abuse: Working at the Intersection
This presentation was given at California State University, Long Beach, on February 2, 2004.
Technical Assistance Publication (TAP)
This TAP is one in a series of publications published by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). Children and Family Futures authored this publication addressing the linkage between alcohol and other drug (AOD) and child welfare services (CWS). Seven sites across the country were visited in Spring of 2000 to highlight programs that have succeeded in linking these two systems.
California Inventory of Programs Models
This is a comprehensive inventory of county programs that have linked the child welfare and substance abuse systems. Originally developed in 1999, the Inventory has been recently updated to include programs that have been implemented in the past two years. This Inventory is the first such document in the state, and perhaps the country, that has captured what can be done and what has been done to assist families in the child welfare system who have substance abuse issues.
Bridge Building
This report summarizes a series of structured discussions between two sets of county officials in five California counties: child welfare leaders and their counterparts in drug and alcohol treatment. These five sets of county officials were joined by state officials from the Department of Social Services and the Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs, in an exploration of the current and needed links between child welfare services and drug and alcohol treatment. The meetings began in December 1996 and were completed in May 1997.
Reframing Ethical Issues in Services to Children, Youth and Families
A background paper developed for a Fall 1998 informal seminar series, this document discusses the ethical dimensions of children's services. Tools and models drawn from existing approaches to ethical issues in health care and human services are applied to the practice and policy issues that affect children and youth.
Testimony of Nancy K. Young, Ph.D.
This testimony was given on March 23, 2000, before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Resources.

This document is the written version of Dr. Young's presentation to the Subcommittee.
Responding to Alcohol and Other Drug Problems in Child Welfare
