Seton Health/St. Mary’s Hospital and Adoption STAR are pleased to announce an exciting, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-approved, FREE training opportunity for healthcare or helping professionals (and students) entitled "Understanding Infant Adoption." The training is designed to help attendees learn how to discuss adoption as an option when interacting with patients or clients who are in the midst of an unexpected or unintended pregnancy and are not sure they are able to parent the child. The goal of the training is to review current adoption practice, policy and law and to develop appropriate non-directive counseling tools.
Interested individuals can attend one of the three training sessions that are being offered at various times over the course of two days – 8/12/10 and 8/13/10. Please see the attached flyer for more details regarding specific times and locations.
Both nurses and social workers will qualify for contact hours as part of the training. Specified other health care professionals may also be eligible to receive contact hours for this training. All participants will receive a certificate of completion after completing the course.
If you'd like to attend the training, please visit www.iaatp.com, click on the “Click here to register for Trainings” section in the upper right corner of the homepage, and follow instructions from there.
If you have any questions or concerns (or encounter any difficulty with the registration process), please contact me at 716-639-3900 or at michael@adoptionstar.com. Space is limited, so register soon!
Sincerely,
Michael Cleveland Hill, M.S.
