Child welfare staff are champions for vulnerable children. Their caseload numbers often exceed recommendations. They travel great distances to visit children and families. Their work with children who have experienced abuse or neglect can cause secondary trauma. In Iowa, these realities lead to a 30% annual burnout and turnover rate, resulting in even more instability for the children and families involved.
Encouraging child welfare workers not only lifts them up, but when they excel in their work, children and families are direct beneficiaries. To learn how you can team up to encourage frontline workers, email us.
