2012-2013 Critical Issues Facing Special Need and At-Risk Children: 10th Anniversary Professional Seminar Series

Topic: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder FASD

The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities’ Suicide Prevention Program, in partnership with the Supreme Court of Georgia’s Committee on Justice for Children, is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Professional Seminar Series.

The purpose of this series is to provide individuals who work with special needs and at-risk children, including professionals and family members, with an understanding of specific diagnoses and their associated interventions, which may include pharmacological, behavioral and family interventions. Each program will reference the risk of suicide in children with the particular diagnosis being addressed and provide resources for suicide prevention.

The seminar series is designed to promote interdisciplinary dialogue and to be inclusive of all parties that support children and youth: parents, foster parents and community organizations, local government entities, state departments and their contracted provider organizations.

Application for CEU’s have been submitted for Social Workers, Professional Counselors, and Substance Abuse Professionals.  There is not cost to participants for these CEUs.

Four (4) CLEs (continuing legal education units) are available per seminar at a cost of $5.00 per credit hour. (Checks should be made out to the State Bar of Georgia.)
