World for Children, a non-profit Child Placing Agency, is providing a excellent
conference, October 23-24, 2009 called Launching Dreams. Last year, as we
reviewed our statistics for placement of children in the North Texas area, we
discovered that we were unable to place over 2,800 youth from the <st1:City
w:st="on">Dallas</st1:City>/<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Fort Worth</st1:place></st1:City>
area. As an agency, we feel that this number is too high and we need to
do better. In order to improve our ability to serve children in care who
need our services, we need to start from the inside. We are bringing this
conference to the DFW area to provide quailty training to our community from
nationally known speakers on the topics that will truly help our professionals
and foster parents better meet the needs of the youth, resulting in positive
outcomes. Launching Dreams is open to all professionals who serve
children or youth, educators, and foster parents. We have arranged at two
of our state wide conferences Audrey Deckinga from CPS and Anne Heiligenstein
with Health and Human Services to speak on the exciting direction of our state
in terms of Child Welfare. We would love to have Texas A&M Commerce
represented at this conference. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
have attached information about our conference to this email. We would be
very appreciative if you would share this information with any person that may
be interested in attending. The two day conference includes 14 hours of
CEU's for Licensed SW's and LPC's or training hours for non-professionals,
formal luncheon, and 3 hours of Ethics training with Dancing Moose
Productions. Thank you for your time.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
