Presented by CalTrin
This panel presentation will invite the audience to engage in California’s shift from mandated reporting to community supporting to safely keep families together in their communities. In addition to overviewing the recommendations and implementation strategy and plan, the presenters will discuss county examples and invite the audience to scaffold ideas for turning statewide recommendations into county-level action.

2. Engage in shifting the statewide narrative from reporting families to one of communities having the tools to support families so children can remain safely at home.
3. Understand how the mandated reporting to community supporting recommendations can align with other vital components of county and state work.
