Alex Del Prete in the News
Alex Del Prete, a doctoral student in the 91精品's Clinical Psychology Program, was recently featured in Newswires. Del Prete led a Q&A with author Dorothy E. Roberts sponsored by San Francisco CASA, Homeless Prenatal Program and The Bar Association of San Francisco.
The Q&A explored "how racial bias in the U.S. welfare system leads to a disproportionate number of Black and Native American children taken from their families. In San Francisco County, nearly 46% of foster kids are Black while less than 5% of the city's child population is Black. Meanwhile, the high cost of living in San Francisco means 65% of foster youth are placed outside the Bay Area where more adults can afford to foster, but far from the childrens鈥� home communities, their schools, and their parents."
