The Iowa National Guard Services Branch, in partnership with the Military Child Education Coalition, is pleased to announce registration for the Supporting Children of the Guard and Reserves Institutes on April 28-29, 2010 is now open. This two-day training is for educators, counselors, administrators and those working with (or soon to be working with) military youth and teens. Attendees will receive valuable information on strategies for working with military youth and teens, as well as resources available to support these individuals during all stages of the deployment cycle. The resources provided to attendees are quite extensive and would be valuable in building a professional reference library on supporting those in the military community.
The training and resources are available at no cost to the attendee(s); however, transportation and lodging expenses will be the responsibility of the attendee(s). Further, one graduate credit is available for this training (at the expense of the attendee) through Texas A&M, with CEUs also available. The training will take place at Camp Dodge in Johnston, Iowa.
