SUMMARY:First Witness | Training for Advocates Working with a CAC©
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training meets all essential training components in the 2023 National Children’s Alliance (NCA) Standard of Victim Advocacy and has been approved by the NCA.  First Witness Child Advocacy Center’s advocacy program bridges the gap between individual advocacy with one victim and system-based advocacy that creates change for many victims. This contrasts with more restrictive advocacy models that are based on delivering services identified by practitioners and systems rather than victims. \nThrough hands-on practice\, participants will learn how to put advocacy principles into action\, including: \n\nExamining advocacy principles through the lens of their organization\,\nChanging organizations and systems\, and\nCreating programs and interventions that meet victims’ needs.\n\nParticipants will practice skills for effective crisis intervention and advocacy\, problem solving\, and decision making around the toughest issues in advocacy work. \nRegister Through First Witness

DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis session will guide advocates to dive deeper into the relationships that they have with social services and law enforcement alongside the families they serve in the advocacy role. We will discuss the implications and intersectionality of “non-compliant” caregivers throughout a criminal case and/or child maltreatment investigation.

SUMMARY:IHS | Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth: Challenges\, Resources\, and Professional Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nLGBTQ+ youth\, like all young people\, require environments that nurture their physical\, emotional\, and psychological well-being. They face unique challenges due to stigma\, discrimination\, and lack of understanding\, which can impact their developmental outcomes. LGBTQ+ youth can be at higher risk for suicidal ideation\, self-harm\, running away\, homelessness\, abuse\, and commercial sexual exploitation . These youth along with their families\, benefit from the support of compassionate\, informed professionals to provide services\, information\, and advocacy. \nThe LGBTQ+ community intersects with many other identities and communities. It is imperative that professionals maintain awareness of the intersectional needs of youth. In addition\, professionals supporting the needs of LGBTQ+ youth are having to factor in the rise of political initiatives to reduce or ban support of this population. This leads to ethical dilemmas and the risk of moral injury to the professional. Youth need consistent caring support from adults who are knowledgeable\, well-resourced\, and resilient. Professional self-care is critical so that adults can continue to provide ethical\, responsive care to the diversity of youth in the LGBTQ+ community. \nThis intermediate-level course is appropriate for social workers\, counselors\, psychologists\, and other human services professionals serving LGBTQ+ youth. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDescribe the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth due to stigma\, discrimination\, and lack of understanding including intersectional identities.\nIdentify a variety of approaches and interventions that support the developmental needs of LGBTQ+ youth.\nCreate a list of resources for support\, advocacy\, and information to benefit LGBTQ+ youth\, their families\, and their communities.\nDiscuss the awareness and implementation of professional self-care so that providers can maintain the resilience needed to provide ethical\, responsive care to LGBTQ+ youth.\n\nRegister Through IHS\nThis training course if free but $10 to receive continuing education credits.

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | When Trauma Meets the Courtroom: A Call for Compassionate Justice for Children and Families
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nIn this webinar\, national consultants and trauma expert Becky Haas will explore what trauma is\, how to identify it\, and why the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study remains so significant today. \nShe’ll discuss the widespread impact of trauma on justice-involved individuals and their families—and how creating safe\, compassionate environments can help prevent re-traumatization\, which is essential for healing and recovery. \nJustice and child-welfare professionals who understand the connection between trauma and substance use disorders are better equipped to provide interventions that support long-term stability—not just for adults\, but also for the children whose lives are shaped by their caregivers’ justice involvement. \nBecause justice shouldn’t compound harm—it should work toward true rehabilitation and healing. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:First Witness | What Children Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Asking Questions
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training examines how children remember and recall experiences\, with a focus on applying research to investigative interviews with children. Participants will learn how factors like age\, development\, trauma\, and cognitive ability influence memory\, and how memory can be both reliable and vulnerable to suggestion. We’ll explore common misconceptions\, the effects of stress\, and the critical role that questioning plays. Research shows that poorly worded or leading questions can distort a child’s memory\, while open-ended\, trauma-informed approaches help elicit accurate and detailed accounts. This training is ideal for professionals in child protection\, forensic interviewing\, law enforcement\, and mental health who want to better understand and support how children recall and share their experiences. \nRegister Through First Witness
