Open Seminar with Hilma Forsman on the Involvement of the Youngest Children with Child Welfare Services

Seminar title: Infants, toddlers and child welfare: Early risks and psychosocial outcomes across the life course

Hilma Forsman is an Associate Professor in social work at Stockholm University. Forsman is currently working in research projects on infants placed in out-of-home care, care experienced children's long-term development, and children’s pathways through child welfare services, with a particular focus on assessments of young children. She has been recently awarded a FORTE grant for her research on infants and children placed in out-of-home care.

This seminar explores the involvement of the youngest children with child welfare services. The talk focuses on how early child welfare involvement is characterized, which factors are associated with different types of interventions, and how early placements relate to outcomes later in childhood and adulthood.

The seminar is arranged by the Department of Public Health Sciences, Stockholm University.
