This course will highlight the philosophical changes with the Family First Prevention Services Act (Family First) in relation to the impact on children and families at-risk for entry into the child welfare system. In Iowa, parental substance use is strongly correlated with young children involved in the child welfare system. Participants will learn about the impact of substance use on the family unit and learn the opportunities available to support families living with substance use disorders.
