On this week’s podcast we discuss some great recent coverage in The Imprint about extended foster care, “second look” laws for youth convicted in adult court, and efforts to improve educational stability for youth in foster care.
Heather Baker of Public Consulting Group joins us on the fifth anniversary of the Family First Prevention Services Act to discuss the law’s finer points, what conversations states are having about this law today, and more.
