SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse IPV in the LGBTQ+ Community
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCulture is culture\, and if you aren’t part of it\, you can’t always make sense of it right away. Queer and trans survivors of IPV often face additional barriers to safety\, above and beyond the difficulties all survivors face\, whether it’s from the specific\, identity-based tactics their abuser uses\, from an unsupportive or estranged family\, or a history of cold\, even contemptuous\, responses from those who represent the system. Even the most well-intentioned first responders and advocates can struggle to adequately serve this population without an awareness of these barriers and their history. \nLearning Objective\n\nDemonstrate both the differences and shared experiences of LGBTQ+ community members in general and IPV survivors in particular.\nApproach LGBTQ+ survivors with a deeper understanding of the barriers already at play long before the 911 call was made.\nRecognize the impact of words and actions that may seem innocuous from the outside and how slight adjustments can make a huge difference in LGBTQ+ survivors feeling seen\, heard\, and understood by first responders.\n\nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:NCAC Interviewing Children on the Autism Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChildren with neurodivergent disorders such as ASD are at an increased risk of child maltreatment. This population presents challenges for forensic interviewers as there is great variability in functioning including unique memory and cognitive processes\, linguistic style\, understanding and expression of emotions\, and forming connections with others. Many of these children can provide information about their experiences if the interviewer is able to adapt questioning approaches and interview strategies to meet the needs of this child. Preparation and flexibility are key. While providing a review of possible domains of impact on functioning\, this training will focus on tips for information gathering\, preparation with the investigative partners to set reasonable expectations\, and adaptations to questioning strategies and interview phases. \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 Sunday\, November 2\, 2025

SUMMARY:IHS | Supporting Neurodivergent Parents: Strategies for Strength-Based Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nParenting can be especially complex for neurodivergent individuals\, including those with ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Challenges such as executive functioning difficulties\, heightened stress\, and communication barriers often intersect with parenting responsibilities. However\, these same parents frequently demonstrate remarkable resilience\, dedication\, and creativity in raising their children. \nThis training equips professionals with the tools and insights needed to support neurodivergent parents more effectively. Participants will learn how to recognize both the challenges and the unique strengths of “neuro-spicy” parents\, building a foundation of trust\, respectful communication\, and individualized support. The goal is to foster stronger partnerships that empower parents and promote healthier family outcomes. \nThis intermediate-level virtual course is for an array of human services professionals including social workers\, psychologists\, counsellors\, and other professionals supporting neurodivergent parents. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify key parenting challenges faced by autistic and ADHD parents\, including executive function issues\, stress vulnerability\, and communication barriers.\nDescribe the core strengths of neurodivergent parents\, such as resilience\, commitment\, and positive parenting skills.\nApply neuro-inclusive strategies that fister trust\, improve communication\, and promote skill-building in parents.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLaura Gaines\, MSW\, LISW-S.\, is a trainer and researcher with a current focus on resilience as an individual and community skill. She has been an Ohio Child Welfare Training Program trainer and curriculum developer for over 20 years.

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Not Another "Self-Care" Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n“Self-Care” as a concept had a promising start when introduced to the field.  At its best\, it was attempting to give acknowledgment that the job is hard and we need to honor ourselves. \nUnfortunately\, it has now devolved into a concept that\, at best\, is unattainable\, and\, at worst\, makes you feel worse (the exact opposite of what self-care is supposed to do). \nThis webinar will discuss concrete alternatives to the idea of “self-care” and address reasons why it can actually be a high-risk strategy for providers in the field. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:NCAC More Than One Interview: When\, Why\, and How
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nForensic interviewers and multi-disciplinary partners recognize the shortcomings of strict adherence to a “one and done” interview approach. Research provides some clarification of reasons why a child may need more than one interview and limited recommendations for implementation\, leaving forensic interviewers and their investigative partners with little clarity about how to apply this information to day-to-day practice. This training will review supportive literature\, introduce a decision-making process for selecting appropriate cases\, and guidance for conducting follow-up forensic interviews. Recommendations for explaining and defending the multi-session approach are included. This 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 Saturday\, November 1\, 2025.

SUMMARY:IVAT Making Treatment Accessible for the LGBTQIA+ Community
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nMembers of the LGBTQIA+ community are at higher risk for suicide\, substance use\, not completing behavioral health treatment modalities\, and suicide. We know that treatment and healing have higher outcomes when safety is present in the healing spaces. Too many behavioral health professionals have little knowledge of queer identities and almost no policies and procedures in place to be able to offer gender affirming care. As facilitators of healing\, it is incumbent upon us to learn how to offer gender affirming spaces and make all members of our community feel safe. \nRegister through IVAT\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse The Intersection of Human Trafficking and Financial Investigations
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nHuman trafficking affects an estimated 50 million victims globally\, with approximately 400\,000 individuals exploited in the United States through sex trafficking\, labor trafficking\, or domestic servitude. This illicit trade generates staggering profits—approximately $240 billion annually—surpassing the earnings of major Fortune 500 companies such as Apple\, Amazon\, and Disney. \nTraditionally\, law enforcement has relied heavily on victim testimony to secure convictions against traffickers. However\, this approach presents significant challenges\, as proving a human trafficking case often depends on victims who may be unable or unwilling to testify due to fear\, trauma\, or other barriers. \nFortunately\, alternative strategies exist to target traffickers effectively. Like narcotics trafficking\, human trafficking generates enormous profits that are difficult to hide. This webinar will explore how investigators can conduct parallel financial investigations\, leveraging federal money laundering statutes and resources such as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to disrupt traffickers’ operations and strengthen cases. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:IHS | Intrafamilial Child Torture: Victim Impact and Professional Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nIntrafamilial Child Torture (ICT) is a severe form of child abuse where parents or caregivers torture their own children. This often includes the perpetration of physical\, sexual\, and psychological torture and malicious neglect used as tactics to meet the psychopathological needs of the caregiver. ICT presents with unique family dynamics and perpetrator psychopathology that is different from typical maltreatment. It is often missed or misbelieved due to the extreme nature of the harm and sophistication of the perpetrator. Many ICT cases are not discovered until there has been a child fatality\, but we can learn from these cases\, intervene\, and prevent future fatalities. This training will provide a brief review of “What is ICT?”\, discuss the impact of ICT on children\, give recommendations for the many fields involved in child protection\, and provide an overview of 15 clinical and non-clinical interventions that have been helpful for ICT survivors. \nThis training is designed for the intermediate to advanced level professional\, but beginners and students are encouraged to attend to listen and observe. This training will combine lecture\, Q&A\, group discussion\, and real-life case examples. \nLearning Objectives\n\nExplain how developmental trauma impacts ICT survivors.\nAdvocate for the use of meaningful interdisciplinary collaboration on ICT cases in their community.\nDescribe one clinical and one non-clinical intervention that has been helpful for ICT survivors.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nPamela J. Miller\, JD\, MSW\, LISW-S\, is a clinical social worker and attorney with expertise in trauma and child abuse law. Since 2019\, she has led the Child Maltreatment Policy Resource Center’s Intrafamilial Child Torture (ICT) initiative\, co-authoring policy papers\, training professionals\, and providing legal counsel in state supreme court cases on child torture.

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Breaking the Cycle: Moving Your Organization Beyond Conflict Toward Collaboration

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse How Do We Know We Are Making a Difference?
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nHow do service providers know they are making a difference in the lives of people impacted by crime? The best way to learn this is to ask the victims who received the services. \niMPRoVE is a free tool developed with funding and support from the U.S. Office for Victims of Crime\, Office on Violence Against Women\, and the National Institute of Justice that helps providers to do just that. It is an online platform that helps any and all types of victim-serving organizations create a customized survey for collecting feedback from victims on the services they received. It also helps programs see their results through an interactive data dashboard. \nThis presentation examines the importance of measuring service outcomes\, the range of intended outcomes that victim service providers strive to achieve\, and how providers can use this free outcome measurement platform and survey tool to learn from survivors about the ways services changed their lives. See a demonstration of how the platform works and hear from a service provider about why and how they use the platform and resulting data. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n
