Beyond Removal: Addressing the Unique Healthcare Needs of Children in the Texas Child Welfare System

Hilda Loria
Radha McNicholas

Description

For children entering the Texas child welfare system, the physical "removal" from danger does not equate to the removal of health complexities. This session dives into the clinical and systemic realities of caring for children in the conservatorship of the state. Participants will explore the intersection of developmental trauma and physical health, identify the Texas-specific barriers that lead to fragmented care, and learn actionable, trauma-informed strategies to stabilize placements through proactive medical advocacy.
