Family Services of Greater Vancouver is offering a one-day workshop on drug and alcohol
issues and diagnosis in children as well as the attachment cycle model with
specific emphasis on Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD)
children.
It will be facilitated by Cyndi Fairbrother, ministry social
worker and facilitator of the MCFD Adoption Education Program (AEP).
Cyndi will be reviewing the topics and information that is presented in the AEP
so that social workers will be able to discuss these issues when they are
assessing families for homestudies. Social workers will learn what the families
have learned and Cyndi will speak to the definitions of the risk factors on the
MCFD Adoption Questionnaire.
Cyndi suggested a movie
available online about drug and alcohol that would be beneficial to watch ahead
of time. It’s called Finding Hope and it profiles children from British Columbia
with a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Diagnosis. The link is below:
All social workers are welcome to attend and the workshop can
be used for your education requirements for your BCCSW
registration.
This workshop may be of particular interest to the social
workers who have completed the SAFE training to complete MCFD homestudies.
