This Community Conversation is being presented free for social workers, their clients, and the general public.  It is not CEU eligible.

 

New Jersey has some of the best performing schools in America, but it is also home to some of the worst performing schools, specifically in minority neighborhoods. Wrap Around Community Schools are a method for combining family access to social services with a child's education to esnsure child and family success. In this Community Conversation, we'll be joined by policy analysts from the Lesniak Institute to discuss how allowing schools to serve as a community hub to connect people to wrap around services such as nutrition, medical, mental health, etc. will decrease the disparity between white and black maternal and infant outcomes and educational performance.
