Team Up for Your Child/Family Roadmap

February 26, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm

Free

Getting services for a child with behavioral health needs can be overwhelming. “Team Up for Your Child/Family Roadmap” is a step-by-step guide designed to help families navigate confusing service systems and work smarter with doctors, schools, agencies and insurers. When a child has serious behavioral health issues, you suddenly have a team of professionals in your life who provide a variety of services. This team could include doctors, therapists, health workers and teachers but remember that the coach of this team is you – the parent. You the parent/caregiver are the only one who takes care of the whole child. Learn how to identify your child’s strengths and needs, make sense of reports and evaluations, understand your child’s treatment plan, track your child’s progress and translate the Individualized Education Program. Note: This special virtual workshop is offered free of charge to parents, grandparents or guardians who are currently parenting a child/youth with behavioral health needs.
