SUMMARY:ZAP | The Sextortion Crisis: What Child Protection Professionals Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n\n\n\nMost of us were trained to spot grooming as a slow burn. Weeks of trust-building. A predator playing a long game. Sextortion tore that timeline up. \nA teenager can go from a friendly message to a full-blown crisis before dinner. The offender doesn’t need months\, and increasingly doesn’t even need a real photo. With AI\, they can fabricate the “proof” and jump straight to the threat. The weapon was never really the image anyway. It’s the shame. And shame moves faster than any reporting system we’ve built. \nThis session closes the gap between what we learned and what’s actually happening to kids right now. We’ll break down how sextortion works\, why it lands so hard on teens (boys especially\, in the financial wave)\, and why the smartest\, most supported kid in the room still won’t tell you. Think of a child sitting on this secret like someone trying to hold a beach ball underwater. It takes everything they have\, and the second they’re exhausted\, it explodes to the surface. Our job is to be a safe place for that surface to happen. Then we get practical: what a trauma-informed response looks like in the first ten minutes after a disclosure\, the warning signs worth watching\, and prevention messages that survive in a world where “just don’t send anything” is no longer enough. \n\n\n\nRegister through ZAP

SUMMARY:ZAP Munchausen by Proxy and Medical Child Abuse
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n\n\n\nMunchausen by Proxy Abuse continues to be under-recognized by those empowered to protect children. \n\n\n\n\nMunchausen by Proxy and Medical Child Abuse: Updates for Interdisciplinary Practice \nMunchausen by Proxy Abuse\, also known as Medical Child Abuse\, continues to be under-recognized by those empowered to protect children. Recent high-profile cases have brought Munchausen by Proxy Abuse and Medical Child Abuse (MBPA/MCA) under greater public awareness and scrutiny. This training provides updates for child protection\, legal\, medical\, and mental health professionals. A pediatrician\, forensic psychologist\, and attorney will share best practices that facilitate determining whether this type of abuse is occurring in the context of custody disputes\, healthcare\, education\, or therapy. Munchausen Support is a non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting survivors\, educating professionals\, and providing resources to anyone who seeks help confirming whether their concerns should be taken seriously\, and steps to confirm or dispel whether abuse should be reported. We discuss our model of providing free online support groups as a trauma-informed and evidence-based modality. The impact of recent media legal cases and media coverage regarding MBPA/MCA will be explored. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nOutline protocols for an interdisciplinary approach to investigating MCA\nIdentify barriers to protecting victims of MBPA/MCA\nDiscuss trauma-informed responses to MBPA/MCA survivors and non-offending family members\nDiscuss the implication of recent court cases and media coverage on mandated reporters of MBPA/MCA\n\nRegister through ZAP

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
