April Training Updates

The April 17-18 Safety-Organized Practice Reunion taking place here in Davis will be facilitated by Phil Decter and Heather Meitner of the Children's Research Center. Heather Meitner is familiar to many of you from a long series of trainings in individual counties and through Academy courses, including Family Meeting Facilitation and Safety Planning.  Heather is a senior program specialist at the NCCD Children's Research Center. She works nationally with child welfare organizations as a trainer and consultant on their implementation of strength and safety-organized practice skills and their integration of those skills with Structured Decision Making. Meitner is a licensed social worker residing in Boston. She has worked in the human services and child welfare fields for 17 years in multiple capacities including direct service, management, training and consultation.


Additionally, the Family Meeting Facilitation course taking place Monday and Tuesday, April 9 and 10 at Putah Creek Lodge will again be co-instructed with Heather by Maryanne Rehberg and Veronica Piper-Jefferson.
