Breaking Barriers, Building Equity: Creating a Child Support Program for All Families

Breaking Barriers, Building Equity: Creating a Child Support Program for All Families

Author: NCSEA August 14, 2024 Duration: 1:07:05

Coming to you from Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia, Mariellen Keely (Virginia Child Support) hosts Dr. Shaneen Moore (Deputy Assistant Commissioner and Director of the Child Support Division within the Children and Family Services (CFS) administration of the Minnesota Department of Human Services) and Erin Frisch (current NCSEA President, and Title IV-D Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services).  They have a conversation about their workshop from the 2024 ERICSA Training Conference and Expo.  They share Minnesota’s Section 1115 grant from OCSS, to examine child support policies and services to assess disproportional access to child support services, determine if orders reflect a true ability to pay, and to improve child support services to families.


Ever wonder what happens when you pull a microphone out at a conference or a community meeting? That's the spirit of NCSEA On Location. Instead of polished studio sessions, this podcast captures conversations where they naturally happen-in hallways after a panel, at international gatherings, or in quiet corners of bustling events. You'll hear directly from Human Services professionals, from caseworkers to policy architects, along with advocates and community stakeholders who are deeply involved in the system. The discussions are immediate and grounded, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the challenges and innovations in public service. Each episode feels like you’ve stepped into a meaningful, spontaneous dialogue, one that continues long after the formal agenda ends. The authentic atmosphere is even complemented by original music from Joe Mamlin, whose granted compositions frame these real-world recordings. Brought to you by NCSEA, this series is for anyone curious about the human stories behind government services, preferring the sound of genuine exchange over a rehearsed script. Tune in to a podcast that truly travels, bringing you voices from the field exactly as they were heard on the ground.
