Welfare workers will learn to handle drug-related problems
By Amy Zamierowski
Kansan staff writer
Child-welfare workers who enter homes to determine whether children are in danger may be endangering themselves.
"Some workers are walking into crack houses," said John Poerntner, associate professor of social welfare. "Some realize it and some don't. Many don't have the expertise to do if they get in that situation."
The School of Social Welfare received a two-year, $200,000 federal grant Sept. 1 to create a coalition that would provide workshops for child-welfare workers. The workshops will train the workers to better respond to children endangered by families with drug problems.
The coaition includes the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare, the University of Missouri-Kan
sas city, the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, and the Missouri Division for Family Services.
Porterer said the purpose of the workshops was to give the child-welfare workers the information they need to protect children and themselves.
“A lot of child abuse and neglect cases seem to go along with parents who have an alcohol or drug dependency,” he said. “Families may have trouble drinking, but we have trouble with alcohol or crack.” Crack is refined cocaine in crystal-
Crack is refined cocaine in crystalized rock form.
Porterer said he thought the workshops would begin next month for child-welfare workers in Jackson and Johnson counties, while didette and Johnson counties in Kansas.
Workshops will cover nine topics ranging from identifying drug-
induced behaviors to preventing a crisis situation and intervening successfully when crises do occur, he said.
Tom Gregoire, project coordinator, said child-welfare workers now were entering situations that required a special situation of parents in poverty.
Gregoire said the number of parents with drug dependency was rising continuously.
"Because of the drug problem in Kansas City, child-welfare workers need to understand alcohol and drug-related problems if they want to serve the children well," Gregorei said.
He cited a report stating that about 40 percent of the more than 400 babies served each year by the newborn intensive care unit in Truman Medical Center have mothers who admitted they used cocaine.
