YOUR CASE, YOUR RIGHTS: YOUR GUIDE TO EXERCISING SELF-ADVOCACY

Information about rights for young people experiencing child welfare systems. Created by people with lived experience for people currently experiencing the system.

Children in child welfare cases need attorneys of their own. We’re working to make sure they have them.

A National Approach

At the state and federal level, we are working toward a future when every young person experiencing the child welfare system receives high-quality legal representation.
