2019 Protecting Delaware's Children Conference

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to join us for the Protecting Delaware’s Children Multidisciplinary Conference for Child Welfare Professionals scheduled for April 2, 2019 at the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino.

The biennial conference is held to provide specialized training to professionals involved in the investigative, administrative, and civil and criminal judicial handling of child abuse cases. This event is geared towards law enforcement, prosecutors, Judges, attorneys, case workers from the Division of Family Services, therapists, educators, community providers and medical professionals who regularly respond to allegations of child abuse and neglect in Delaware. The conference will feature Delaware’s annual Blue Bow Ceremony to commemorate National Child Abuse Prevention Month and 14 workshops on topics, including: prosecuting child abuse cases, positive parenting interventions, challenges facing survivors of sexual abuse, social media, infants with prenatal substance exposure and their families, values in the child welfare system, domestic violence, substance abuse, burnout, recantation, trauma responsive approaches, medical child abuse, the role of fathers in child welfare, and sex trafficking.

We hope you leave the Protecting Delaware’s Children conference feeling informed, inspired, connected, and renewed, and we hope you will understand that your efforts to protect children are part of a much larger effort to strengthen families and communities in Delaware. We also wish to acknowledge our sponsors and speakers for making this event possible.

Warm Regards,

Rosalie Morales and Megan Caudell

Co-Chairs, CPAC Training Committee’s Conference Workgroup
