Poverty vs. Neglect in North Carolina

The Dalai Lama made a powerful statement about humanity when he said, “It is not enough to be compassionate; you must act.” In the course "Poverty versus Neglect in North Carolina," participants will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to address poverty in their communities. They will learn to define and understand examples of poverty, maltreatment, and neglect in the context of policies established by both the U.S. government and the North Carolina government. Participants will also examine how the various definitions and applications of these policies influence decisions regarding allegations that can directly impact families and their involvement in the child welfare system. Finally, learners will explore strategies to mitigate the harms of neglect and maltreatment, promoting positive family outcomes and fostering thriving communities. You will receive a certificate of professional learning time after completing the learning. If continuing education or professional learning is required for licensing purposes, please reach out to your organization or institution to ensure they will accept the certificate.
