Drugs, Alcohol, Pregnancy & the Vulnerable Child
September 9 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
$40CWLA is pleased to partner with Dr. Ira J. Chasnoff, the Founder & President of NTI Upstream, to bring you the vital training series Drugs, Alcohol, Pregnancy & the Vulnerable Child. We are also grateful to James Bell Associates for their generous sponsorship of the series to support greater participation.
This training series will explore the biological and environmental factors for children and families that impact the ultimate development of children affected by prenatal substance exposure, provide an overview of family- and school-based intervention strategies that can promote long-term growth and development of this high-risk population of children, and address the role of the child welfare system in ensuring best outcomes for all families and their children affected by prenatal substance exposure.
Each training session is a stand-alone learning opportunity. Participants are welcome to register for one or multiple sessions.
