Gangs, childhood obesity and child abuse laws are several of the topics expected to be addressed at the 2009 State of the Child Conference.
The March 6 event, to be held from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mount Olive College, is a collection of 13 workshops intended to arm parents, educators and mentors with the information needed to hone their child care skills.
Colleen Kosinski, district administrator for the Guardian ad Litum program: "This is a conference put on by a community group who recognizes the need for training for folks working with children who are involved with the school system, the court system and through the abuse and neglect system. We just felt like there was a need for training, and since training dollars are kind of short, we put this conference together each year."
Kosinski said the conference is open to the general public, adding it's a valuable resource for parents who have a child with attention deficit disorder and professionals working with gang issues.
