President of Casey Family Programs on Family Access to Prevention Services to Address Opioid Crisis
William Bell, PhD, president and CEO of Casey Family Programs, a Seattle organization that aids foster parents, shares how important is to make sure families have access to prevention services and are not isolated. He said that he worked in New York City during the crack epidemic and "foster care's role continued to go down ... One reason was because of the immense amount of prevention services available in the city. Unfortunately, too many families have moved away from their extended family are living in communities where they're apart ... Someone's got to see that child every day so the support is there."
