The power of being seen: we can transform the child welfare system | Matt Anderson | TEDxGreensboro

The child welfare system is not designed for individual success. Children move among foster care settings with insufficient regard for their growth and well being. The real goal should be family transformation. Matt Anderson is a social worker with a vision to transform the child welfare system. Anderson, a vice president at the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina and an award-winning documentary producer, believes in the power of listening to and learning from people’s stories and acting together to create change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
