-- NOTICE: START TIME CHANGE!
Exploring a Year of Openness:
The Stigma of Foster
Care The
next installment of the
Child Welfare Legal Academy will be Wednesday,
July 9, 2014 at 1:30-3:45 pm at
Emory School of Law.
A panel of former
foster youth from Georgia EmpowerMEnt will reflect on their
experiences in foster care, particularly with respect to any
stigma they experienced as a result of being
labeled a "foster child." Terry Walsh, partner with Alston &
Bird, will facilitate the discussion with the goal of exploring
the unintended consequences of laws
and procedures designed to maintain confidentiality and protect
the privacy of children
and families.
TOGETHER GEORGIA is the new name of
our state’s most venerable organization for child and family
services providers: the Georgia Association of Homes and Services
for Children (GAHSC). Since its inception 50 years ago, GAHSC has
been a tireless champion of children all across the Peach State.
While we’re proud of what GAHSC has accomplished over its long
history, we’ve redesigned the organization from the ground up to add
even more value to the hard-working providers serving Georgia’s
children and families. Find out more by being our guest at a
meeting, talking with our friendly members and leadership team, and
by visiting our website at
