NATIONAL REUNIFICATION MONTH celebrates the reunification of families after separation by the child welfare system. Part of the nationwide American Bar Association Family Reunification Month celebration, the event is an opportunity to acknowledge the success stories of the child welfare system and parents who have been reunited with their children. A successful reunification depends on the collective efforts of resource parents, caseworkers, judges, attorneys, support service providers, and parents. Family Reunification Day honors the efforts of all those involved, who seek to return children to their families.
Legal Services of New Jersey celebrated the third annual Family Reunification Day with a formal reception at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick on Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Through this event, we hope to inspire parents—particularly those going through the reunification process—and assure them that it is possible to confront and resolve the issues that led to separation, and to reunify with their children.
This year’s theme was Co-occurrence of domestic violence in child welfare cases.
