To better support our field, CAPPA, in partnership with CDE, will be hosting informational trainings for our field in Pomona and Sacramento!  

These Statewide Meetings will bring our field together to share insights and experiences, explore ideas, shape policy, and discuss best practices.

The training in Pomona will be a 2-day event and have two tracks of workshops each day, as space at that venue allows for that. The Sacramento training will be a 1-day event and offer the CDE workshop track.

We hope you can join us!

    Stage One CalWORKS child care now has continuous (12 month)
    eligibility rules and greatly expanded opportunities to connect families in
    the CalWORKs program with immediate, full-time child care.  This workshop
    will cover the specifics of the new law including: immediate authorization of
    12 months of child care for a broad range of activities, full-time care unless
    parent requests part-time care, county duty to verify child care has been
    found before mandating activities, offering child care to sanctioned adults,
    and seamless transfers to Stage Two.  Learn how you can help parents get
    the good, stable child care they need  to improve their prospects, reassured
    that their children are happy and safe. 

B) Compassion Fatigue: Owning Your Narrative- Part 1
      Michelle Graham and Jacqui Banta, Children's Resource and Referral of
      Santa Barbara County
     When we deny our story, we let it define us. When we own our story, we
     have the power to write a brave new ending! Take a journey with a CEO and
     COO that illustrate a powerful message of trauma, triumph and
     resiliency.  Learn why your story matters and how to use it to make you a
     strong, brave support to families while avoiding compassion fatigue.

12:30pm-2:00pm - Workshop Session 2

      Division, California Department of Social Services; and Danielle Wondra, Children Now
     Introduced January 2018, the Bridge Program provides eligible resource
     parents vouchers to pay for childcare. These vouchers help ensure
     caregivers have support to balance work and home lives and increase the
     likelihood of a smooth transition for the child. Vouchers are available while
     the resource parent works with a navigator to access non-Bridge Program
     long-term subsidized child care or are able to pay for childcare themselves.
     Come join this roundtable discussion that will be sharing emerging
     promising practices and address barriers hindering the collaborative
     partnerships necessary to successfully implement the Emergency Child Care
     Bridge for Foster Children Program (Bridge Program).
