APPROACH?

01:24.766 --> 01:30.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> DATA IS POWERFUL.

01:26.633 --> 01:35.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE

PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN OF COLOR

01:30.766 --> 01:39.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

DATA THAT WAS EMBARRASSING AND

01:46.933 --> 01:53.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
UNACCEPTABLE.

01:47.400 --> 01:56.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
WHEN WE BEGAN THIS JOURNEY IT

01:50.133 --> 02:00.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WAS 4% OF CHILDREN OF COLOR WERE

>> I THINK WE ARE GOING TO GET

02:02.466 --> 02:08.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
TO THE CHANGE FROM 4% WHAT THE

02:05.400 --> 02:09.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
IMPROVEMENT WAS.

02:06.133 --> 02:13.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
BUT HOW DID YOU PUT THAT CHANGE

02:08.033 --> 02:16.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
OF APPROACH INTO PRACTICE?

02:09.766 --> 02:18.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WHAT STEPS DID YOU ALL TAKE?

02:13.366 --> 02:22.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> WE DID SOMEWHAT I CALLED

02:16.800 --> 02:25.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
FOUNDATIONAL WORK.

02:18.000 --> 02:26.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WE STARTED WITH LOOKING AT WHAT

02:22.366 --> 02:28.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN ANTIRACIST

02:25.833 --> 02:30.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
ORGANIZATION?

02:26.266 --> 02:32.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?

02:28.133 --> 02:33.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
WHAT COMMITMENT DO WE WANT TO

02:30.033 --> 02:36.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
MAKE TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL AND

02:32.466 --> 02:38.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
MORE DIRECTLY TO THE CHILDREN

02:33.566 --> 02:41.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
AND FAMILIES WE SERVE?

02:36.500 --> 02:47.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SO WE NOW HAVE AN ORGANIZATIONAL

02:38.766 --> 02:52.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
STATEMENT AROUND THIS.

02:41.800 --> 02:54.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
WE ALL PARTICIPATED IN A

02:47.666 --> 02:57.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
ANTIRACIST TRAINING.

02:52.400 --> 03:01.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
TOGETHER WHICH REALLY GAVE US A

02:54.833 --> 03:02.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
COMMON FRAMEWORK AND CONCEPT AND

02:57.900 --> 03:05.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
LANGUAGE TO THINK ABOUT AND TALK

03:01.833 --> 03:07.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
ABOUT.

03:02.133 --> 03:10.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WE HAD WORKSHOPS AND ALL STAFF

03:05.366 --> 03:13.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MEETINGS DIVERTED TO THE SUBJECT

03:07.000 --> 03:15.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ABOUT BIASES IMPLICIT BIASES AND

03:10.366 --> 03:16.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AND HOW

03:13.300 --> 03:17.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DOES IT SHOW UP IN OUR WORKDAY

03:15.533 --> 03:18.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
TO DAY.

03:16.266 --> 03:21.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THOSE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT WE

03:17.900 --> 03:24.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:10%
DID.

03:18.166 --> 03:28.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
AND THEN WE SET A GOAL THAT WE

03:21.033 --> 03:30.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WANTED TO TACKLE THE DISPARITY

03:24.366 --> 03:32.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
AROUND CHILDREN ACHIEVING

03:28.566 --> 03:35.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
PERMANENCY AND HOW LONG IT TOOK

03:30.233 --> 03:35.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
FOR THEM TO LEAVE FOSTER CARE

03:32.900 --> 03:37.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AND GO WITH A LOVING FOREVER

03:35.000 --> 03:37.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
FAMILY.

03:35.566 --> 03:39.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> LET'S GET TO SOME OF THOSE

03:37.300 --> 03:42.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
RESULTS.

03:37.633 --> 03:44.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
SOME OF THEM ARE POSITIVE FOR

03:39.900 --> 03:45.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BLACK AND LATINO YOUTH YOU ARE

03:42.200 --> 03:47.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SHOWING AN INCREASE IN ACHIEVING

03:44.066 --> 03:48.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
PERMANENCY AND REDUCTION IN THE

03:45.366 --> 03:51.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
AMOUNT OF TIME SPENT IN FOSTER

03:47.500 --> 03:54.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
CARE.

03:48.300 --> 03:54.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
NOW, THAT DROP IN TIME AND CARE

03:51.100 --> 03:57.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FOR LATINO YOUTH WAS ESPECIALLY

03:54.000 --> 03:59.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
LARGE.

03:54.300 --> 04:00.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WHAT DO YOU THINK ACCOUNTS FOR

03:57.600 --> 04:03.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
THAT?

03:59.200 --> 04:07.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> WE'RE STILL EXPLORING THAT

04:00.633 --> 04:08.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
AND LOOKING AT THAT.

04:03.900 --> 04:12.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
SO THIS IS WHAT STAFF HAVE

04:07.333 --> 04:12.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
SHARED WITH US.

04:08.800 --> 04:15.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
ONE IS LISTENING BETTER TO

04:12.033 --> 04:18.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
FAMILIES.

04:12.400 --> 04:20.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WE HAVE BILINGUAL STAFF TO SERVE

04:15.266 --> 04:23.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ON SPANISH SPEAKING CHILDREN AND

04:18.933 --> 04:25.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
FAMILIES.

04:20.933 --> 04:27.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
LOOKING AT BOTH PARENTS IF

04:23.766 --> 04:30.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
CHILDREN ARE NOT ALREADY LIVING

04:25.300 --> 04:33.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WITH ONE, ALSO ENGAGING THE

04:27.666 --> 04:35.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
OTHER PARENT AND THAT SIDE OF

04:30.900 --> 04:36.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE FAMILY AS RESOURCES FOR THIS

04:33.933 --> 04:38.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
CHILD.

04:35.100 --> 04:41.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
AND I THINK JUST PAYING

04:36.700 --> 04:42.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ATTENTION TO HOW WE TALK TO

04:38.633 --> 04:46.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
PEOPLE THE LANGUAGE WE USE TO

04:41.133 --> 04:49.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
DESCRIBE THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES AS

04:42.566 --> 04:49.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
WELL AS THEMSELVES.

04:46.100 --> 04:51.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ALL HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OUR

04:49.600 --> 04:53.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
SUCCESS.

04:49.933 --> 04:55.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT

04:51.300 --> 05:00.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
CHILDREN SPEND LESS TIME IN A

04:53.100 --> 05:02.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%

TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENT.

05:08.433 --> 05:16.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AND WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT CHILD

DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS IN LIFE

05:13.366 --> 05:21.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
IS THAT YOU NEED A LIFETIME

05:16.833 --> 05:24.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SUPPORT LINE REGARDLESS OF HOW

05:19.133 --> 05:24.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
OLD YOU ARE.

05:21.566 --> 05:27.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND THAT FOSTER CARE IS MEANT AS

05:24.600 --> 05:29.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
TEMPORARY.

05:24.966 --> 05:32.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
WHERE DO I BELONG?

05:27.266 --> 05:33.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
WHERE CAN I GO WHEN I'M IN

05:29.933 --> 05:37.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
TROUBLE OR SAD OR EVEN WHEN I'M

05:32.500 --> 05:37.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
CELEBRATING SOMETHING?

05:33.500 --> 05:40.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THE JOY OF

05:37.200 --> 05:43.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
FAMILY.

05:37.533 --> 05:45.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AND FOR MANY OF OUR CHILDREN

05:40.633 --> 05:48.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
THEY WERE MISSING THAT.

05:43.466 --> 05:50.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
