What Makes Our Continuing Education Program Different?
All trainings are committed to exploring how the social determinants of health influence poor mental health outcomes for system-involved youth, their families, and communities. We welcome a sustained dialogue on these issues in our trainings to lift up collective resources, expertise, and narrations of hope from our members.
Continuing education events are grounded in contemporary research, social justice, local and national foster care policies, and clinical interventions pursuant to the regulations of our sponsoring bodies.
