Owens Executive Director Wyoming Legal Services, Inc. 307-237-5266 www.wyominglawhelp.org Linda Beaver GAL Program Coordinator 307-777-7480 -----Original Message----- From: Wendy [mailto:wowens at wyominglegalservices.com] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 10:26 AM To: Beaver, Linda Subject: GAL credit for CLE? Linda, Personnel from the Casper UPLIFT office will be speaking at this month's Natrona County Bar meeting. They will be talking about UPLIFT's Family Outreach program, particularly the services they can provide to parents whose children are in the DFS system. Their family outreach services include working with family members to prepare them for meetings with schools, service agencies (e.g. DFS) and courts, and helping families advocate for the most appropriate services for their child. This would be of interest to GAL's and parents' attorneys, so I thought it might be appropriate for GAL credit. It will be offered for 1.0 hour CLE. It'll be Friday, August 31, at 12:00 p.m. at "303" restaurant in Casper. Lunch will be served, $11.00 for Natrona County Bar members, $14.50 for non-Natrona County Bar members. (price includes meal, beverage, tax and tip) If in your estimation it would be appropriate for GAL credit, please let me know, also please feel free to distribute this information over the GAL listserv. Thanks! -- Wendy S. Owens Executive Director Wyoming Legal Services, Inc. 307-237-5266 www.wyominglawhelp.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

They present back-to-back on Wednesday afternoon, September 12. Helping Babies From the Bench 1:30pm - 3:00pm 1.5 CLE We are privileged to receive two nationally recognized and well published individuals who have dedicated years to research, intervention, and clinical work with infants, children, and families exposed to community and domestic violence and maltreatment, many at high psychosocial risk. For the last ten years, the Honorable Cindy S. Lederman, Presiding Judge of the Juvenile Court in Miami-Dade County, Florida and Joy D. Osofsky, Ph.D, psychologist and psychoanalyst, have worked on the development and evaluation of programs to benefit high risk young children and families in court. As a result of Judge Lederman's work with maltreated infants and toddlers, the Florida Legislature designated her court an "Infant and Young Children's Mental Health Pilot Site." This work led to the Miami-Dade Juvenile Court Early Childhood Initiative that has been replicated in five other states with Congressional funding and now serves as the basis for the Safe Babies Act of 2007. Dr. Osofsky is a psychologist and psychoanalyst and Professor of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. She is Head of the Division of Pediatric Mental Health. Additionally she serves as Adjunct Professor of Psychology at the University of New Orleans and is Director of the Violence Intervention Program for Children and Families and the Harris Center for Infant Mental Health at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans.
