The title of this collaborative project is Child Welfare In-Service Training.

Many of the workshop topics will have applicability beyond child welfare practice, thus a LIMITED number of FOR CHARGE spaces are available for interested professionals who work outside of DHS and contracted private agencies. Early registration is encouraged. Registrations are nontransferable.
