1.5 CEs for LCSW/LSW and LCPC/LPC and PDH for educators
FREE Webinar
Part 3 of the webinar series focuses on a subset of the youth-in-care with disabilities population – children with complex medical needs. Young people in foster care face compounded difficulties due to their experiences of trauma and resulting health and social challenges. Health challenges in turn can significantly impact educational outcomes. Representatives of UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago, a provider of specialized foster care for children with severe medical conditions, will share their expertise on the topic and offer strategies for support in the educational setting, and a representative from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services will explain the roles of foster parents and case workers in addressing medical needs and provide information on agency resources. This session has been approved as a Professional Development activity for educators in Illinois.
