This session is Part 3 of a 4-part webinar series designed for school-based mental health professionals to broaden their knowledge and enhance their services for child and youth with disabilities involved in the child welfare system.  Part 3 of the series focuses on a subset of the youth-in-care with disabilities population - children with complex medical needs.  Representatives of UCP Seguin of Greater Chicago, a provider of specialized foster care for children with severe medical conditions, will share their expertise on the topic and offer strategies for support in the educational setting.  A representative from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services will explain the roles of foster parents and case workers in addressing medical needs and provide information on agency resources.
