| Document Title: | (Re) Conceptualizing Neglect: Considering the Overrepresentation of Indigenous Children in Child Welfare Systems in Canada. |
| Personal Author: | Caldwell, Johanna.,Sinha, Vandna. |
| Publication Year: | 2020 |
| Abstract: | The current overrepresentation of Indigenous children in Canadian child welfare systems continues a history of government policies that have separated Indigenous families over the course of many generations.

Because the disproportionate representation of Indigenous children is driven...more |

| Document Title: | Suicide in Foster Care: A High-Priority Safety Concern. |
| Personal Author: | Brown, Lily A. |
| Publication Year: | 2020 |
| Abstract: | This commentary emphasizes the need for implementing universal suicide-risk assessments for youth in foster care. Important contextual information that prevents behavioral-health clinicians from implementing universal suicide screenings of youths in foster care is discussed, and several possible strategies for implementing universal suicide-risk assessments are offered with the pros and cons of each strategy discussed. The case is made that case managers may be the optimal stakeholders for implementing universal suicide screening because of their frequent access to youths in foster care; therefore, case managers should receive training in suicide-risk assessment and prevention strategies.
