Family First provides a tremendous opportunity to make substantial improvements in the outcomes of children and families in the child welfare system. Improvements, as Family First seeks to create, require shifts in long-held mindsets, a new vision of serving children and families, and a commitment to a different way of working with communities and the broader child welfare system. If states and tribes focus their efforts solely on meeting the technical requirements of the law, they may not achieve the goals of Family First.
