Description

As a professional in child welfare, we must continue our respective missions, address a wide array of demands from the families we support, follow all agency regulations and policies, and keep up with the proper paperwork at the same time. In recent times, with the onset of Coivd-19, we are finding we must do all of this and more without our usual resources, tools, and approaches. How do we as child welfare workers and clinicians ensure that we are able to provide families with the support they need and give them encouragement as they seek to care for the children in their homes? This webinar will provide practical tips and tools for social workers and counselors on the front lines. Learning Objectives: By the end of this webinar participants will:

• Gain understanding of how this world-wide health crisis impacts families and children in the child welfare system
• Be able to list and use 5 practical tips for remotely supporting families when in-person visits are not allowed or advised
• Gain information on how to help parents adapt trauma-informed parenting strategies to talk to children about their fears and concerns during this crisis
