Child Welfare Training Institutes

Announcing Child Welfare Training Institutes

We work every day to help local organizations and public agencies respond effectively to the needs of vulnerable children and families. As part of this critical effort, we are launching a new training initiative -- American Humane Association’s Training Institutes.

Our specialized institutes are in-person sessions that cover child welfare initiatives and practices for the advancement of knowledge and skills in the field. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in an active adult learning experience that reflects key child welfare competencies.

We can offer continuing education units (CEUs) for many of our trainings, and can tailor each to meet the individual needs of your agency or community. If you are interested in bringing these or any other topics to your area, or if you have needs for a training institute that is not listed below, please contact us.
