Internship Child Welfare

Child Welfare Program is to increase healthy birth outcomes among
at-risk, low-income families by helping individuals develop tools for
good decision making. Supporting expectant parents as they carefully
explore all their options and make a thoughtful and appropriate plan for
their baby, whether it is an adoption plan or a parenting plan. Program
staff are committed to being the support system through the mother and
childs journey but are also inclusive of providing that support to the
fathers journey whose engagement directly affects healthy birth
outcomes. Additionally, program staff can continue to serve in their
support role to clients through the first year of the childs life. The

decision making. When adoption program experience is available, the
