Creating new solutions that work
At Alia, we use the principles of design with bringing child welfare system leaders and staff together with parents from the community who have been directly impacted, and harmed, by the system to co-design new solutions that keep families safely together.
Preparing for Community Co-design
Before community co-design can begin, there is important readiness work that must happen on both the system and community side, to minimize additional harm and prepare both to come together.
