Notes |
Hengstebeck's writings focus on how policies, systems, and contextual circumstances shape the well-being of children and families. Hengstebeck's approach emphasizes a holistic, multidimensional lens through which to think about the long-term impact of programs and policies on families; strategies that aim to build on strengths rather than simply minimizing problems; and ways of leveraging science to inform policymakers, practitioners, and the public about these issues. A former Fulbright Fellow in the Netherlands, Hengstebeck currently works with government, non-profit, and university partners to enhance the use of research in policymaking.
Hengstebeck is a first generation university student. |
