The CICW strengthens and supports state and local agencies and social workers committed to the welfare of immigrant families and children involved in, or at risk of involvement in, the public child welfare system.
We work collaboratively and in partnership with service providers, helping build capacity to promote positive outcomes for immigrant families and their children with regard to safety, permanency, and well-being.
The CICW provides a centralized source of high-level training and technical assistance by phone, email, and video conferencing.
