Child
Welfare Conferences
Since 1994 the N.C. Family and Children's
Resource Program has helped the N.C. Division of Social Services
plan, promote, and hold a number of child welfare-related conferences.
These events have ranged from small, one-day conferences for foster
parents of children with HIV/AIDS to three-day statewide events
attended by upwards of 850 people. Regardless of their size or
duration, these conferences have sought to build the knowledge
of foster and adoptive parents, community leaders, and the professionals
who work with children and families in North Carolina.
To discuss how we might support you
in your efforts to plan, promote, and hold a conference of any
size, please contact Ms. Lane Cooke (tel: 919/962-3597; lgcooke@email.unc.edu).
Following are examples of materials
we have produced in connection with several past events.
