Wraparound Institute 2010

The Resource Center for Family-Focused Practice and the California Department of Social Services are proud to announce the following FREE webinar:

Implications of Early Start Policy Changes for Child Welfare

The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part C require an appropriate referral for children under age three who have a substantiated case of maltreatment to be screened and referred for early intervention services. This webinar presentation will review the recent policy changes to Early Start eligibility and the resources available for these vulnerable and at-risk children. The need to identify and serve these children remains an ever-growing priority. Join us to learn the most recent statutory changes and how these changes will affect the identification, referral and resources that are available.
