Child Welfare Case Staffing: Child Welfare Court Case (Video)

National Center on Substance Abuse and Child Welfare (NCSACW) prepared this animated video that simulates a hearing between a judge, a child welfare worker, and attorneys. The court and child welfare professionals discuss visitation for a mother receiving Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). The video is silent from 1:36—1:40 while the following text appears on the screen Child Welfare Mock Case Staffing: Child Welfare Court Case.
