SUMMARY:ZAP AI Literacy and Responsible Use for Frontline Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n\n\n\nFrontline professionals and faculty are increasingly fielding questions about artificial intelligence\, yet there is little consistent guidance on how to evaluate its use responsibly in child protection and human services settings. \nThis training focuses on where AI can intersect with child protection work\, without assuming uniform adoption or maturity across agencies. Rather than promoting specific tools or claiming insight into current practices\, the session equips participants with a clear decision-making lens for assessing potential AI use cases based on their organization’s context\, capacity\, and risk tolerance. \nParticipants will explore realistic\, high-level examples—such as administrative support\, documentation assistance\, training preparation\, and non-identifiable data analysis—while clearly distinguishing between what may be appropriate to explore\, what requires strong guardrails\, and what should remain strictly off-limits in sensitive work involving children and survivors. \nThe emphasis is on judgment over tools and decision-making over adoption\, giving faculty and professionals shared language\, practical frameworks\, and ethical clarity they can apply regardless of where their organization currently falls on the AI adoption spectrum. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nWhere AI can responsibly support child protection and human services work\nHow to evaluate potential AI use cases without assuming or endorsing adoption\nCommon myths and misconceptions that create unnecessary fear or false confidence\nReal risks professionals should care about\, including data privacy\, over reliance\, and accuracy\nA simple decision-making framework faculty and professionals can teach\, model\, and adapt\n\nRegister through ZAP

SUMMARY:Zero Abuse Project | Advanced Forensic Interview Training: Dolls & Diagrams for Practice\, Investigation\, and Prosecution
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis virtual training provides multidisciplinary team members an understanding of the research and proper use to assist with investigation and prosecution when forensic interviews include the use of interviewing aids of anatomical dolls and diagrams. \nWhile the practice of using anatomical dolls and diagrams is sometimes seen as contentious in the field of forensic interviewing\, research shows the appropriate use of dolls and diagrams within the guidance of a nationally recognized protocol can increase forensically relevant information and accuracy within the forensic interview. \nThis training will summarize relevant research on dolls and diagrams\, provide an overview of their purposeful and appropriate use in the forensic interview\, and address common defense challenges to the use of dolls and diagrams. This one-day advanced training includes practicum and scenario work for participants. \nLearning Objectives\n\nReview appropriate and purposeful practice regarding the use of dolls and diagrams in the forensic interview.\nIncrease knowledge of the relevant and reflective research regarding the use of dolls and diagrams in the forensic interview. Students will gain a better understanding of the proper use through scenario practicum with dolls and diagrams.\nAddress misconceptions and defense challenges to the appropriate use of dolls and diagrams in the forensic interview.\n\nRegister at Zero Abuse Project
