This is third in a series of three REI webinars mostly focused on the experience of Black families in the US and the child welfare system. This series is the first of three series exploring how systemic racism has affected Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities generally and in child welfare. The webinar series prepared California Child Welfare Directors for upcoming revisions to the California Core Practice Model to elevate Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) more prominently.
