Sellers Dorsey provides comprehensive child and family well-being, often referred to as child welfare, consulting services for managed care organizations (MCOs), states and government entities, community providers, and other solution partners. Our in-house expertise spans the full child welfare continuum including:
Our solutions support clients in developing proposals, assessing and improving programs and operations, understanding the child welfare landscape, and operationalizing improvements.
Did you know, that in 2021, approximately 50% of children and teens entering foster care had chronic physical health problems? And in 2019, more than 40 percent of children involved with the child welfare system — including children and youth in foster care as well as those who had exited foster care to homes of adoptive parents or guardians — had been diagnosed with behavioral health conditions. Demonstrating the importance of access to both physical and behavioral health services, system-involved youth often experience various barriers to accessing quality care in a timely manner. Sellers Dorsey supports clients to positively impact the health outcomes of children and families nationwide, enhancing healthcare quality, equity, and access for this vulnerable population.
Our team members are experts in child and family well-being, having worked at every level of the child welfare system. Equally important, they have journeyed through the system experiencing its opportunities and challenges first-hand as foster and adoptive parents. Our experts have a deep understanding of what it takes to operationalize system improvements, engage meaningful stakeholders, and gain and maintain program support at all levels, from caseworkers to government officials.
As our client, you’ll receive a tailored approach and will have a finger on the pulse of the dynamic child welfare system. We are driven to help you fulfill your mission not just because it’s our job, but because we are deeply invested in making a positive impact.
