Mission Possible: Impacting Change and Transforming Lives

The 2025 Autumn Institute returns as a special three-day, mornings-only virtual event Nov. 12-14! The annual Institute is an ideal opportunity for managers, supervisors and workers from across California and beyond connect with UC Davis to learn new techniques for efficient, effective and sensitive delivery of services. This year, we're going all in on the theme Mission Possible, because together we've proven time and again that we can and do make the impossible possible. We invite you to join us as we learn new strategies, expand our thinking and continue to grow in our capacity to serve the adults and families in our communities in new, innovative and positively impactful ways.

The Continuous Quality Improvement Conference for Child Welfare and Probation returns to Sacramento April 14-16, 2026! The theme is, Breaking Barriers and Building Brave Leaders–Partnership Through CQI. Free to attend, the conference is sponsored by the California Department of Social Services and hosted by the Northern Academy at UC Davis Human Services. We are now accepting workshop proposals.
