Workshops

SignUpNow workshops are designed for administrators, staff and volunteers in community programs serving children and families who are interested in Virginia’s state-sponsored health insurance programs for children and pregnant women. The information presented will be of value to organizations such as: schools, hospitals, clinics, community health centers, pediatric practices, Head Start, home-visiting programs, social services, health departments, family service organizations, churches, community action agencies, extension offices, youth programs, child care providers, human resources staff of local employers, and outreach workers in any setting.

What You Will Learn

The workshops provide in-depth information on the FAMIS, FAMIS Plus, Medicaid for Pregnant Women and FAMIS MOMS programs. Some of the topics typically presented include:

  • Who qualifies for the programs and how does a family apply?
  • What are the benefits and costs of the programs?
  • How can you work with the FAMIS Central Processing Unit or your local Department of Social Services to help a family apply?
  • How are FAMIS/FAMIS Plus and Medicaid for Pregnant Women/FAMIS MOMS coordinated?
  • What can you do to get the word out in your community?
  • What changes were made the programs recently and what changes are expected the near future?

All workshop participants receive a comprehensive Tool Kit with FAMIS program information, forms and resources to use in working with families.
