Joan Wallace-Benjamin, Ph.D., President and CEO of The Home for Little Wanderers
Lunchtime Seminar April 14, 2016 (33:41 min.)
“Mind the Gap” is a well-known cautionary phrase from the London Underground, but it also offers an excellent picture of our child welfare system. In Massachusetts and across the U.S., the child welfare system is doing just that – minding the gap – argues Joan Wallace-Benjamin, Ph.D. In the presentation, Wallace-Benjamin, President and CEO of The Home for Little Wanderers, discussed the work of the child welfare system in Massachusetts, how it has changed over the 13 years she has been at The Home, and what responsibility the taxpayers of Massachusetts bear for the system in place and the services it provides.
