Regional Child Welfare Trainings

The Supreme Court of Ohio’s Children & Families Section, in partnership with the Ohio Department of Children & Youth, invites juvenile courts, public children services agencies, and community partners to participate in a series of full-day regional trainings. The sessions, titled “Building Stronger Systems Together,” are focused on enhancing cross-system collaboration to improve outcomes for children and families.

Four regional sessions will be offered across Ohio:

• April 22 – Akron Register
• April 23 – Toledo Register
• May 13 – Miamisburg Register
• May 14 – Columbus Register

Each event will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration is free, and Continuing Legal Education (CLE) and Continuing Education Unit (CEU) credits will be requested.

This immersive, team-based workshop builds on progress from the statewide Summit on Children and Kids Summit. Participants will engage in facilitated learning on effective cross-system collaboration, dedicated team planning time to set goals and refine local strategies, and individualized technical assistance tailored to each county’s needs.

This training is supported by the Subcommittee on Responding to Child Abuse, Neglect, and Dependency to the Advisory Committee on Children and Families, with funding from the federal U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Court Improvement Program Grant and the Children’s Justice Act.
