News From The Field: April 2018
Spring is in full swing and we’ve got some great reads for you—including a new online resource on Texas homeless youth.
May is National Foster Care Month (#NFCM2018) and National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month (#NTPPM2018). Grab a cup, login to Facebook and join our Director, Monica Faulkner for a couple of Facebook Live Coffee Breaks sessions as we talk with local professionals about current issues in foster care and teen pregnancy and parenting. 0.5 CEUs are available for tuning in! Also check out The HYP Provider Conference: Staying Strong Resilient Youth, Sustainable Programs and TNOYS 35th Annual Conference on Service To Youth & Families if you are looking to meet other youth-serving professionals in the area.
