Reimaging Child Welfare: Shifting the Paradigm

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Torn, Sonia and Classie sit down with Dr. Ange Puig, a psychologist with 35+ years of experience, to unpack the role of trauma in the child welfare system. Why are psychological evaluations so common, and do they actually help families?

    Dr. Puig challenges the current enforcement-based model and calls for a shift to a preventative, strength-based approach—one that recognizes the resilience of families, particularly those from Black and Brown communities.

    Together, we discuss the lifelong impact of trauma, systemic racism, and how the child welfare system can be reimagined to center healing, community, and understanding. Whether you’re an advocate, caseworker, or someone passionate about social justice, this episode provides insight and practical steps toward change.
