The Value and Benefits of Cross-System Collaboration September 16, 2025

Children and families impacted by child welfare will often navigate multiple systems of care. When these systems collaborate by sharing resources, expertise, and a unified vision, families benefit from stronger, more coordinated care. Effective cross-system partnerships can address the root causes of family stress and align services to create a seamless continuum of support.

Join us for a conversation with Bonni Goodwin, Ph.D., LCSW, and Brandi Ann Shearer, as they share real-world examples from Oklahoma’s efforts to bring systems together, strategies for sustaining and expanding collaboration, and practical ways to overcome common challenges. Together, we can ensure every child and family receives the comprehensive, connected support they deserve.
