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.

Webinar Registration

In an era of financial cutbacks and economic uncertainty, the time is now to engage in real sustainability planning for your FDC.  This webinar will explore the key components of sustainability planning, including conducting a cost analysis and the role of local evaluation in measuring goals and outcomes.  Attendees will understand how outcomes are the wheels and cost savings are the engine and why you need both to drive your FDC towards sustainability.  Since there is no single, off-the-shelf model that will work for all sites, this presentation will provide a framework and one FDC example of how they approached sustainability planning.

Presenters:
Sid Gardner, MPA, President, Children and Family Futures
Phil Breitenbucher, MSW, FDC Project Director, Children and Family Futures
Jocelyn Gainers, Director, Family Recovery Program, Baltimore, MD
