Identifying Drug Endangered Children: A Collaborative Approach - The National Strategy for Drug Endangered Children focuses on the formation of multi-disciplinary partnerships that take advantage of existing agency personnel, resources, and responsibilities and coordinate their mutual interests and duties to meet the specific needs of these children. The focus on these children’s needs is throughout the entire process until the child is in a permanent, safe and positive functioning environment. This session will look at overcoming the challenges in aligning systems responsible for preventing, intervening, and treating these issues to achieve common outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
1) Raise awareness regarding the problem of drug endangered children so that professions interacting with these victims recognize the need to facilitate multi-disciplinary, coordinated responses to better meet the needs of these children.
2) Describe the opportunities to identify children living in dangerous drug environments and encourage intervention at the earliest possible point when endangerment is suspected to reduce physical and psychological harm to children.
3) Review multi-disciplinary response that considers the unique and often limited resources within a community and how these resources can be coordinated and applied in a manner that allows the child to receive better care.
