Working with families with Substance Abuse Issues
Whether the issue is alcohol misuse or dependence or addiction to other drugs, it is a family issue. We will use the most up to date research from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to discuss what professionals working with families need to know.

Legal issues for Grandparents raising Grandchildren
The economy has forced more parents of young children into working more hours and more jobs. An additional factor is that some of those parents are hooked by alcohol misuse and other drug dependence. Grandparents are now stepping up to the task of playing more significant roles in the lives of their grandchildren and even grandnieces and grandnephews as families face stress from many directions. The workshop will explore the legal responsibilities of the caregivers, rights of the biological parents, and how this all must be addressed to protect the children. (2 hours)
