April is Child Abuse Awareness Month and we wanted to bring awareness to some of the issues that have historically plagued and continue to plague the child welfare service industry. In this episode we spoke to  Queen C regarding disparities in Child Welfare. Queen C is a native New Yorker who has worked in the social service industry since 2004. She’s worked with the mentally ill, HIV+, substance use, public assistance and child welfare populations. Today she will share not only her wisdom and experiences in the field but her personal experience as the recipient of services that she’s put in place for her own clients for the past several years. Email us at thequeensofsocialwork@gmail.com if you want to discuss this topic or any other topic for April. Thank you!
