On this episode of Risk Factors I talk with Aubrey Blacker, MURP, about the child welfare system. We discuss the history of foster care and its relation to racism and policing, the benefits and disadvantages of using data to tell a story, and what the future of the child welfare system could look like. During our conversation Aubrey mentions these two TED talks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c15hy8dXSps and https://www.ted.com/talks/jessica_pryce_to_transform_child_welfare_take_race_out_of_the_equation?referrer=playlist-itunes_podcasts_kids_family as well as this Facebook Live recording from BLM LA: https://www.facebook.com/blmla/videos/633422830628056
