SUMMARY:The New York Foundling & APSAC Webinar Series on Controversial Topics
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nAPSAC and the New York Foundling are presenting webinar series on controversial topics. See below for more information and dates on each webinar. \nWebinar Series\nOnline Sexual Abuse of Children and Youth\nPresented by David Finkelhor\, PhD. | Wednesday\, February 14\, 2024 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT/2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nThis workshop will review recent research on the varieties of online abuse of children\, and highlight misconceptions and stereotypes that inhibit effective practice and awareness. 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.

SUMMARY:NCAC Supervision of Child Forensic Interviewers
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe role of the forensic interviewer within the CAC continues to evolve\, calling for a greater level of competence and skill. Limited opportunities for peer review are no longer sufficient to meet this goal. Long recognized in medicine and mental health\, supervision is an established relationship between a senior practitioner and junior colleague(s) focused on advancing skills in implementing best practices\, supporting resilience\, and increasing a sense of professional identity. This training will introduce an array of supervisory principles and approaches. \nThis training is recommended for experienced forensic interviewers wishing to build skills and confidence around providing ongoing information sharing\, skill building\, and support of less experienced interviewers. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Friday\, August 9\, 2024!

SUMMARY:Historical Trauma\, Toxic Stress\, and Indigenous Communities
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nJoin us as we “Connect the Dots” in understanding how ongoing Historical Trauma and Toxic Stress not only directly impact our Indigenous Communities\, but our broader society as well. As helping professionals\, it is our duty to understand the neuroscience and epigenetics behind toxic stress\, to understand the current day implications\, and to find ways to make paradigm shifts in the way we do the work as well as in the way our systems and policies are impacting our community members. The impact of colonization\, historical trauma\, intergenerational adversities\, childhood trauma\, ongoing racism and discriminatory practices continue to challenge us; it is only when we look holistically at what our society\, communities\, families and individuals need that we will be able to overcome these challenges.\nAbout the Trainer\nLinsey McMurrin\, a citizen of the Leech Lake Nation of Ojibwe\, is committed to the ongoing process of integrating trauma-sensitive\, equity driven\, restoratively based and culturally responsive approaches into the organizations\, institutions\, systems and policies throughout our communities and beyond in order to cultivate environments in which everyone can find pathways to healing and success. She believes a firm understanding of the root causes of the contemporary issues we face as a society today is paramount to making true and lasting change that is necessary for individuals\, families and communities to thrive. Linsey centers her approach around the importance of building relationship through authentic connection and empathetic listening\, as these are the building blocks of cultivating the thriving and inclusive communities we all want for our children\, both now and for generations to come.\nRegistration is Free!\n\nRegistered attendees will receive a Zoom link 1 week and 1 day before this training event starts. \nWe are excited to start the new year with this training. The Alliance believes trauma-informed\, anti-racist\, and culturally responsive services are essential to helping children heal. We continue to offer virtually the highest quality training\, with nationally renowned speakers. \n\nContinuing Education Credits\nSocial work continuing education credits will be available for all eligible participants providing services in Minnesota\, US.\nCancellation Policy\nThe Alliance recognizes that sometimes professionals are called away at the last minute to accommodate the needs of our kids. Please contact MaiXi Ye at maixi@minnesotachildrensalliance.org if you have any questions or concerns.

SUMMARY:NCAC Cultivating the Forensic Interview Program: Support for CAC Executive Directors
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe National Children’s Advocacy Center is presenting four monthly 90-minute virtual sessions that will include a maximum of ten CAC directors on how they can build a successful forensic interview program at their CACs. \nExecutive directors of Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC) are key champions of child forensic interviewers. Many are responsible for recruiting new interviewers\, providing access to high-quality training and peer review and support\, and supervision; and sustaining and retaining those interviewers at their centers. However\, most CAC directors receive little to no training in forensic interviewing (i.e.\, general knowledge\, protocols\, research\, resources\, etc.)\, which impedes their ability to fully support the interviewers in their CAC. To meet the needs of CAC directors\, especially those newer to their positions\, the National Children’s Advocacy Center (NCAC) has developed a new training\, Cultivating the Forensic Interview Program: Support for CAC Executive Directors. \nFacilitated by Linda Cordisco Steele\, this consultation group for executive directors will cover the fundamentals of an effective child forensic interviewing program at a CAC\, the role of the interviewer\, and how to identify the strengths and needs of participants’ current forensic interviewing programs. Upon completion of the program\, executive directors will have developed an actionable plan to support their efforts to enhance the child forensic interviewing program at their respective CACs. \nTraining Format\nThis training will consist of four monthly 90-minute virtual sessions and will include a maximum of 10 CAC directors. The group’s smaller size will enable more interaction with and learning from other participants and the facilitator. These sessions will occur on the following Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. CT/11:00 a.m. PT: \n\nThursday\, July 25\, 2024 | Topic: Discuss the current state of participants’ forensic interview program (what is going well\, what areas need attention\, and strategies for recruiting forensic interviewers.\nThursday\, August 15\, 2024 | Topic: Training\, mentoring\, and in-going coaching of forensic interviewers\nThursday\, September 26\, 2024 | Topic: Working effectively with multidisciplinary team (MDT) partners\nThursday\, October 17\, 2024 | Topic: Retention of forensic interviewers\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLinda Cordisco Steele\, MEd\, LPC\, is the Director of Forensic Interview Training and Services at the NCAC and a nationally recognized expert on forensic interviewing. Linda has been a forensic interviewer since 1993 and has worked at CACs in Alabama\, New Mexico\, and Kentucky. In addition to conducting forensic interviews at NCAC\, Linda provides supervision and consultation on forensic interviews locally and nationally. \nRegister through NCAC\nQualifications and Application Process\nIdeal candidates for this training will be CAC directors who: \n\nAdministrative supervisors of child forensic interviewers but who have no direct knowledge or experience with conducting forensic interviews\, or currently do not have a position dedicated to the supervision of forensic interviewers;\nWork in a small or rural CAC with minimal resources for forensic interviewers\nHave worked as the director at their CAC for five years or less.\n\nThose selected to participate must commit to attending all four sessions and have access to Zoom including a webcam\, microphone\, and speakers.  To apply\, click this link and complete the application by June 21\, 2024. There is no fee to attend. If accepted\, you will be notified by July 12\, 2024.

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 July 14\, 2024 \nRegistration is not a guarantee of acceptance into the course. Seats in this training are intended for professionals currently working as part of a Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC). The NCAC reserves the right to refund the registration of anyone who is not currently working as part of a CAC to ensure that currently practicing professionals receive the training they need. Upon acceptance\, you will receive a Final Confirmation and Logistics email. Please refrain from booking non-refundable travel until this email is sent. \nThe full registration fee is due by the fee deadline stated above in order to hold your spot. Registrants that have not paid in full by the deadline will be released from the training\, and we will contact those on the waitlist. \nCancellation Policy\nIf you are unable to attend the training\, you must submit your cancellation notice at least 30 days prior to the training in order to be refunded the full amount\, less a $100 administrative fee. Your agency may choose to replace your spot in the training with another member of the agency at no penalty. Late cancellations may be considered for a training credit that may be used by your agency for up to one year. Failure to show up for the training forfeits the registration fee completely. \nIn the event the NCAC cancels the training for any reason\, 100% of the registration fee will be refunded.

SUMMARY:NCAC Cultivating the Forensic Interview Program: Support for CAC Executive Directors
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe National Children’s Advocacy Center is presenting four monthly 90-minute virtual sessions that will include a maximum of ten CAC directors on how they can build a successful forensic interview program at their CACs. \nExecutive directors of Children’s Advocacy Centers (CAC) are key champions of child forensic interviewers. Many are responsible for recruiting new interviewers\, providing access to high-quality training and peer review and support\, and supervision; and sustaining and retaining those interviewers at their centers. However\, most CAC directors receive little to no training in forensic interviewing (i.e.\, general knowledge\, protocols\, research\, resources\, etc.)\, which impedes their ability to fully support the interviewers in their CAC. To meet the needs of CAC directors\, especially those newer to their positions\, the National Children’s Advocacy Center (NCAC) has developed a new training\, Cultivating the Forensic Interview Program: Support for CAC Executive Directors. \nFacilitated by Linda Cordisco Steele\, this consultation group for executive directors will cover the fundamentals of an effective child forensic interviewing program at a CAC\, the role of the interviewer\, and how to identify the strengths and needs of participants’ current forensic interviewing programs. Upon completion of the program\, executive directors will have developed an actionable plan to support their efforts to enhance the child forensic interviewing program at their respective CACs. \nTraining Format\nThis training will consist of four monthly 90-minute virtual sessions and will include a maximum of 10 CAC directors. The group’s smaller size will enable more interaction with and learning from other participants and the facilitator. These sessions will occur on the following Thursdays at 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. CT/11:00 a.m. PT: \n\nThursday\, July 25\, 2024 | Topic: Discuss the current state of participants’ forensic interview program (what is going well\, what areas need attention\, and strategies for recruiting forensic interviewers.\nThursday\, August 15\, 2024 | Topic: Training\, mentoring\, and in-going coaching of forensic interviewers\nThursday\, September 26\, 2024 | Topic: Working effectively with multidisciplinary team (MDT) partners\nThursday\, October 17\, 2024 | Topic: Retention of forensic interviewers\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLinda Cordisco Steele\, MEd\, LPC\, is the Director of Forensic Interview Training and Services at the NCAC and a nationally recognized expert on forensic interviewing. Linda has been a forensic interviewer since 1993 and has worked at CACs in Alabama\, New Mexico\, and Kentucky. In addition to conducting forensic interviews at NCAC\, Linda provides supervision and consultation on forensic interviews locally and nationally. \nRegister through NCAC\nQualifications and Application Process\nIdeal candidates for this training will be CAC directors who: \n\nAdministrative supervisors of child forensic interviewers but who have no direct knowledge or experience with conducting forensic interviews\, or currently do not have a position dedicated to the supervision of forensic interviewers;\nWork in a small or rural CAC with minimal resources for forensic interviewers\nHave worked as the director at their CAC for five years or less.\n\nThose selected to participate must commit to attending all four sessions and have access to Zoom including a webcam\, microphone\, and speakers.  To apply\, click this link and complete the application by June 21\, 2024. There is no fee to attend. If accepted\, you will be notified by July 12\, 2024.

SUMMARY:The New York Foundling & APSAC Webinar Series on Controversial Topics
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nAPSAC and the New York Foundling are presenting webinar series on controversial topics. See below for more information and dates on each webinar. \nWebinar Series\nOnline Sexual Abuse of Children and Youth\nPresented by David Finkelhor\, PhD. | Wednesday\, February 14\, 2024 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT/2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nThis workshop will review recent research on the varieties of online abuse of children\, and highlight misconceptions and stereotypes that inhibit effective practice and awareness. 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.

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).
