We live in a time when child and youth care is changing very rapidly. Professionals and leaders need to understand the trends that are moving the field, what new ideas are coming into practice, and what we need to do to respond to these changes. Keeping abreast of change means staying informed.
We will spend time exploring how the trends are impacting our work and sharing examples of strategies that have proved helpful.
Learning Objectives:
Tom Woll and Bill Martone are widely recognized for their expertise in leading and consulting with child care programs. They have been studying the changes in the child and youth care field since 2012. They have conducted over 3,000 interviews with persons from across the country over the last twelve years. This has included both public and private sector leaders, elected public officials, practitioners who are delivering services for us, and youths and families who are receiving services from us.
They have asked them all to share their thoughts on where our field is going, what changes we will need to introduce to keep pace, and what new skills and capacities will be needed to successfully address the changes coming into practice.
This webinar is a MUST for anyone who is already in the child and youth care field or anyone who is entering the field. Tom’s and Bill’s survey-based insights into what IS happening and what WILL BE happening next can help you plan the future of your program and personal practice.
