News from the Field: September 2019

This month, we are excited about the upcoming workshop on family stressors. The workshop is part of our free two-part series for child welfare professionals. This series is co-hosted by TXICFW and the Texas Center for Child and Family Studies, which is the 501c3 nonprofit arm of the Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services (TACFS). Two CEUs will be offered for attending the training.
