CHS-Parkersburg to host a local community forum on foster care issues

Thursday, January 28th, from 11 am to 1 pm, we will be hosting a community forum on foster care at our offices on St. Mary's Ave. There will be SW CEU's available. We are particularly inviting the foster care providers to this opportunity to discuss with their peer agencies the dynamics and trends they are experiencing providing foster care in the community surrounding Parkersburg. We feel this is a needed dialogue and will only serve to increase communication and awareness of the foster care services. This is a "brown bag lunch" session, over the extended lunch hour, with the hopes of the dialogue leading to recommendations or action steps. We see this sort of overture in the community as part of our mission, and part of our efforts to positively impact the local "system of care." For information or questions you can contact Carna, Shelley or Steve at the CHS-Parkersburg office.
