Description
APAC coordinates an annual statewide Permanency Conference in collaboration with the Alabama Department of Human Resources to bring 3 days of focused training on meeting the range of needs of foster and adopted children and their families. This conference is geared for anyone who serves foster and adopted children in any capacity and is perfect for DHR staff, service providers, and clinicians, as well as foster and adoptive parents.
We hope to offer a rich virtual experience where participants can take part in relevant, engaging, and practical workshops to help participants feel more prepared, confident, and hopeful for the work they do serving vulnerable children and families.
Up to 11.5 contact hours will be available for social workers and counselors with 3 hours of Ethics. Most workshops will also qualify for clinical hours too!
