This training series grows out of over 50 years of child welfare experience, both social work and legal, and draws on personal life experiences. Each training session is designed to enhance practice by providing a practical and sensible way to understand the issue presented.

Each session can stand alone, or combine into a comprehensive series that provides a basis for getting children through the child welfare system to permanence. This training provides a solid foundation in philosophy and values, as well as tools and techniques for all areas of child welfare practice.

Both the fee for a particular training event and the length of the training can be adjusted to meet the needs and the budget of your organization.

We are committed to making a difference in children’s lives by training and supporting the many dedicated people who struggle in the system and sometimes against the odds.
