About the webinar:

The partnership between social workers and other professionals providing social services to children, and their clients' caregivers is crucial for a proper development of children. Among all kind of professionals working with children in Bulgaria there is a great need for more knowledge and practical skills on how to work with caregivers.

This webinar is designed for people working with children, recognizing the need to include parents and/or other caregivers in the process. During the webinar we will explore common challenges faced by professionals in the process of involving and effectively engaging parent(s), and offer a variety of techniques for overcoming difficulties in this process.
