PCSAO conference

Traci, Courtney, and Chasstity presented at the 2009 PCSAO Conference in front of a packed conference room.

On September 10, 2009, three Athens County youth presented at the 2009 PCSAO Annual Conference at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dublin, Ohio. The youth were part of a two hour workshop, with an audience from across the state. The workshop allowed the youth to talk about their experiences in foster care, and to provide their suggestions for best practices. The youth were able to answer questions, and give the audience feedback to take back to their respective jobs.
