Conference
NYSCCC’s annual statewide conferences provide an opportunity for everyone in the adoption and foster care community to join in celebration of children and youth. Given the challenges facing parents, family members, and child welfare professionals today, we sometimes get stuck on the difficulties of meeting our children’s many needs. Our annual conferences encourage participants to celebrate kids’ strengths and recognize successes and progress. Nationally recognized plenary speakers and workshop presenters share their knowledge and expertise to help participants gain perspective, increase skills, and learn to appreciate the positives.
In this section, you will find information about our 2012 conference, Family!, held May 11-12, 2012 in Albany, highlights of prior years’ workshops, an archive of previous conferences workshops and handouts, and information on purchasing downloads of workshop recordings.
