SUMMARY:IHS What's new in Foster Licensing for Kin?
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nA new federal rule gives states the flexibility to establish approval standards and policies for kin foster homes that differ from those required for “traditional” foster homes. As a result\, many jurisdictions are re-imagining the kinship licensing process to reflect the unique strengths\, needs and circumstances of kin caregivers. In this session we will review the new rule – it’s rationale\, what it means and what it doesn’t mean. We will explore the recommended model standards created by national organizations and identify some of the key areas states are most commonly addressing as they update requirement for kin foster parents. Time will be built in for discussion and sharing among participants. \nThis intermediate two-hour live\, virtual course is appropriate for social workers\, CPS staff and administrators\, licensing specialists\, and others connected to kinship care. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe key provisions of the new federal rule on approval standards for kinship foster homes.\nConsider how they can integrate into their own work elements of the model standards recommended by national organizations.\nImplement state and local updates to the kinship approval process with an awareness of the rationale for a kin-specific approval process.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nMaureen Heffernan\, MSSA\, LISW-S is an independent child welfare consultant and trainer. She has worked across the United States assisting child welfare jurisdictions to achieve better and more equitable outcomes for vulnerable children\, youth\, and their families. Her focus areas include kinship care\, family search and engagement\, youth permanency\, foster care\, and the recruitment\, development and support of foster and adoptive families. She has extensive work experience in public and private child welfare settings\, including direct service\, supervision\, and leadership positions. \nRegister through IHS\nThere are two social work continuing credits available ($20).

SUMMARY:NCAC Preparation and Adaptations for Interviewing Children with a Disability
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChildren with a disability are at high risk for victimization. Forensic interviewers well trained in their discipline may lack confidence when speaking with a child with a disability\, as it is unrealistic to expect that an interviewer be well-versed in the impact of the wide variety of disabilities on a child’s behavioral\, cognitive\, linguistic\, and emotional functioning. This training will address pre-interview preparation\, collaboration with investigative partners\, interview adaptations\, and the importance of critical thinking decisions through the forensic interview. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies and the phases of a forensic interview. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Monday\, August 25\, 2025!

SUMMARY:IHS Intersection of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Neurodevelopmental Conditions
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n\n\n\nThe intersection between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and Neurodevelopmental Conditions is complex. Some neurodevelopmental conditions such as Down Syndrome have a strong genetic component. Others have long been strongly associated with ACE’s including conduct problems\, and depression. More current research indicates there is an association between ACE’s and intellectual disability\, anxiety\, and ADHD as well.  Family stressors significantly impact children with NDC’s as they are less able to modulate their individual stress responses. Families\, in turn\, may experience increased stress due to the demands of parenting a child with NDC’s. ACE’s can delay the diagnosis of children’s conditions interfering with the start of needed services. \nThis will look at the current research on these topics and identify the implications for working with children and families facing these complicated concerns. Families and systems get stuck in a vicious cycle of reaction and frustration. By mapping out the possible connections we can work with a family or system to identify opportunities for positive intervention. \n\n\n\nThis intermediate-level\, live course is appropriate for all human services professionals supporting those with Neurodevelopmental conditions and adverse childhood experiences. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDiscuss the intersection of genetic and environmental risk factors in the development of neurodevelopmental conditions.\nDescribe the complex interaction between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Neurodevelopmental conditions.\nIdentify practice implications for working with children and families impacted by both ACE’s and Neurodevelopmental conditions.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLaura has twenty years of experience as a child and adolescent mental health clinician and Crisis Text Line volunteer. Laura worked with children\, their parents and their school districts to diagnose\, treat and manage anxiety disorders in children at home and in the community. Her goal was to empower even the youngest child to find ways to “shrink the worry monster” so that they could focus on having fun\, building relationships\, and learning. Trainer and researcher regarding resilience as an individual and community skill. Laura provides clinical consultation regarding child and adolescent mental health. Her trainings focus on child development\, mental health\, developmental disabilities\, ethics\, trauma-informed care\, resilience\, and each person’s individual solutions to life’s challenges. \nRegister through IHS\nThere is two social work continuing education credits available ($20).

SUMMARY:First Witness Training for Advocates Working with a CAC
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training meets all essential components in the 2023 National Children’s Alliance (NCA) Standard of Victim Advocacy. \nFirst 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: conducting a focus group to improve programming\, changing organizations and systems and creating programs and interventions that meet victims’ needs. \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\nPlease note that this is a hybrid format.

It will discuss prevention strategies\, and put particular emphasis on the evidence-based track record of comprehensive prevention education. It will suggest better prevention messages and content and flag areas where additional work needs to be done in crafting effective responses. It will put Online abuse in the context of all the varieties of child victimization and draw out the implications. \n“Just the Facts”: Best Practices for Minimal Facts Interviewing\nPresented by Thomas Lyon\, JD\, Ph.D | Wednesday\, March 27\, 2024 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT/2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nComplexities of Child Serious Injury and Death Investigations \nPresented by Vincent J. Palusci\, MD\, MS and Leigh Bishop\, JD | Thursday\, May 9\, 2024 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT/2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nThis webinar is designed to train multidisciplinary professionals about the investigation of serious injuries and fatalities in infants and toddlers and how to integrate investigations with medical and forensic findings. Participants will learn how to collect and interpret key findings in order to reach appropriate case determinations – free of social bias – and with all disciplines conducting thorough investigations and communicating clearly with each other to achieve the most accurate and just results on behalf of the child and the offender. \nIs Cannabis Legalization Really Impacting the Maltreatment of Children? The Highs and the Lows \nPresented by Stacie LeBlanc\, JD\, MEd and Darrell Armstrong\, Eds-MFT\, MDiv\, DDiv | Thursday\, July 25\, 2024 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT/2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nAre Black and Hispanic Children Over-Reported\, Over-Substantiated and Over-placed Compared to White Children? The Data Say “No” \nPresented by Brett Drake\, PhD | Tuesday\, September 10\, 2024 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT/2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nAre Black and Hispanic children “overreported” to Child Protective Services (CPS)?  We present national data from CDC\, the Census and the National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect.  We compare racial differences in child maltreatment reports to racial differences in a range of known risks (e.g. poverty) and outcomes (e.g. infant mortality).  We found that Black children are being reported to CPS at a rate lower than would be expected given their high exposure to risks and high levels of non-maltreatment negative outcomes.  Hispanic children are reported to CPS at a rate lower than their risk exposure would suggest\, but similar to their rates of negative outcomes\, such as infant mortality.  This is consistent with the well-known “Hispanic Paradox”.  We also used bivariate and multivariate statistics to determine if Black and Hispanic children are substantiated or placed more than White children once reported. There were only small differences by race/ethnicity.  In recent years\, multivariate models show Black children are substantiated and placed slightly less often than Whites\, while Hispanic children and White children are substantiated and placed at similar rates. \nWhy and How White Child Protection Advocates Must Talk to Black Parents About the Harms of Corporal Punishment?\nPresented by Stacey Phatton\, PhD | Tuesday\, December 17\, 2024 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT/2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nRegister through APSAC\nCancellation/Refund Policy\nNo cancellation and no refunds. Registration is transferable. Requests for transfer to a future event will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
