11th Annual Commonwealth of Virginia CSA Conference

Connections Matter

The 11th Commonwealth of Virginia's Annual Children's Services Act Conference, where "Connections Matter," will return to an in-person event in 2022!

Please join us November 1-2, 2022 for two days of impactful training, vendor visits, and activities focused on the resiliency of Virginia's CSA community, the changes in child welfare arising from various initiatives and national trends, and the evidence-based practices that inspire positive outcomes in engaging the youth and families in our work.

This year, we are pleased to offer topics relating to service innovations, self-care, family-driven practices, and more. We are also introducing an interactive mobile application called Guidebook to enhance your conference experience and engagement. This conference will equip members of the CSA network with skills, information and tools to continue the great work, embrace new opportunities, and boldly meet the challenges and opportunities that lie before us now and in the future.

Who Should Plan to Attend

Participants (including State Executive Council, State and Local Advisory Team) can expect to receive information and training that will assist them in achieving the mission and vision of CSA.

Workshops are designed for local government representatives responsible for implementation of the CSA. Sessions are designed to meet the specific needs of CPMT members (e.g., local government administrators, agency heads, private provider representatives, and parent representatives), FAPT members, and CSA coordinators.
