Page 35: How to be persuasive when you talk about your cause

Children in the care system

1) The Need – they are moved around too much

2) Not Obvious - more changes = less stability and more harm

3) Story - eg one boy had 19 placements by age of 10

4) Impact – same outcomes as children not in care

5) Solution - New Orleans model – Speed. If doesn’t work, permanent placement.
