GU - Drug Endangered Children

GLADNEY UNIVERSITY: The purpose of Gladney University is to equip clients and professionals with the knowledge they need to help provide positive and healthy outcomes for the children we serve. Gladney University provides adoptive parents with education and support before, during and after their adoption. This education and support helps Gladney provide the finest adoption experience possible, and its part of Gladney’s promise of family for life. Additionally, Gladney University provides medical professionals, counselors, social service advocates and community members with cutting edge continuing education programs by offering relevant and engaging, web-based and in person educational adoption and child welfare resources. Gladney is uniquely positioned to provide outstanding training to parents and professionals because of our 130-year history of serving families and children. Our staff is highly qualified, experienced and compassionate. This combination creates dynamic and very successful training programs.

DESCRIPTION

This presentation will address the risk factors and implications of drug exposure to children, and will discuss how to identify possible risk factors of children using drugs. An inter-professional approach will be used during the presentation in order to improve outcomes for professionals serving this population, such as teachers, social workers, law enforcement officials, parents and counselors. We will discuss ethical dilemmas and professional responsibility in child abuse and neglect cases, along with the new paths being forged by new research at Cook Children’s Medical Center.
