however there is a need for training as to how to provide quality
emotional, physical and psychological support for children and I think
that NCSEA should help in that area.

NCSEA provides with more personal development training and leadership
training for our members, especially for middle managers.

general public has regarding the child support family. I think that we
should explore ways to educate the general public as to the value of the
services that Child Support Program provide to families.
