helping systems keep kids safely with their families
(not from their families)
A child’s need for an uninterrupted sense of love and belonging is necessary for healthy development, however our current foster care system was not built on this foundation.
It’s time torebuildtogether.
Who We Are
We're a Minnesota based national nonprofit "do-tank." Founded in research and family voice, we support innovative leaders and systems related to child welfare.
What we do
We redesign child welfare by equipping leaders in agencies with the support they need for systems change. We help communities ask the right questions and solve the right problems.
Why We Do It
Our current practices in child welfare do not yet align with what we know about the needs of children and families. We know we can do better.
Deep Dive into Year One Cohort Report
We recently released the UnSystem Innovation Cohort Year One Report. From Fall '18 - Fall '19, the Cohort agencies achieved an average reduction in the number of youth in care by 12%, and the number of youth in residential care decreased by an average of 37%.
Because there is so much more to share, we are hosting three live sessions to dig deeper into the report. Join us to learn more about the Cohort process and year one outcomes.
