The turnaround time is quick. But if the Brewers go three and out, people are going to be a little less willing to buy them or wear them.”

]]> Coordinating productive family visits that are safe AND relationship building is complicated. Family Alternatives, a private foster care agency, will present their research and best practice findings after a two year pilot project on family visiting. Through qualitative interviews in two Minnesota counties, this unique project captured the voices of children in foster care, birth parents, foster parents and social workers. Key elements of helping families maintain and strengthen their relationships while living apart were explored and an interactive family visiting guide was developed based on the information gathered.
