SUMMARY:APSAC Upstream Prevention: Support Minoritized Families & Understand Their Lived Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChild welfare system exposure to parents and children is traumatic on multiple levels. Trauma is inflicted by punitive systems oversight and sadly manifests across generations. Themes identified as trauma are living in poverty\, persistent fear of family disruption\, and ongoing anxiety during interactions with authorities. Many of our established social and human services have been structured based on the insidious nature of racism and oppression. The lived experiences of child welfare system-impacted parents are rarely considered from a social justice perspective. Parents and children endure the oversight of the child welfare system in myriad ways\, and these experiences usually vary based on race\, ethnicity\, and socioeconomic status. The presence of authorities with the power to disrupt one’s family is a pervasive and enduring trauma.  Whilst acknowledging racism is embedded in many human service systems\, it follows that child welfare system policies and practices are by design intended to admonish parents for improper care of their children. Child\, parent\, and family assessments are made without any consideration of family strengths\, resilience\, or the indisputable fact that systemic racism is the culprit of sub-optimal parenting. It is critical to understand that lower socioeconomic status cannot be disentangled from lived experiences of racism and oppression which results in pervasive systems oversight. Racialized poverty-related family surveillance is harmful to minoritized families in that they are traumatized whilst they navigate oppressive oversight and pervasive codified racism. This presentation will encourage reflection on the notions that racism is the mechanism by which child welfare system racial disproportionality is evidenced through policies underpinned by design flaws\, policy-mandated reporting\, and placement options. Consequently\, racial disparities are grounded and proliferate in systemically oppressive organizations and ultimately pose a threat to the public health of society. Qualitative data will be presented in the historical context of systemic racism that underpins the treatment of Black families in the U.S. \nRegister through APSAC

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.

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.

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).

They may present in a perplexing\, even off-putting manner. This can make conducting a person-centered\, developmentally appropriate forensic interview seem elusive. However\, it is not the adolescent that is the challenge\, but the capacity of the interviewer to understand the unique factors impacting the functioning of the adolescent. \nLaying a foundation with current research\, this session will help to identify the issues of cognitive\, physical\, and socio-emotional development that influence the skills and abilities demonstrated by the adolescent in a forensic interview. It will also address the significant and sometimes unexpected impact of trauma on the adolescent. Understanding the effects of trauma\, development\, and life experience allows a shift in perspective\, and expands the range of considerations about and within the forensic interview. \nCombining research-based knowledge with practical experience\, this session will offer unique strategies and techniques for meeting the needs of adolescents while maintaining the principles of a forensically-sound\, person-centered approach. \nLearning Objectives\n\nCapably differentiate biased assumptions from realistic expectations regarding the skills and abilities of adolescents as a whole\nUnderstand the possible impact of development\, life experience and trauma on the presentation of an adolescent in the forensic interview\nIncrease confidence and strategies for conducting person-centered and forensically sound interviews with adolescents\n\nRegister through CornerHouse\nIf you meet the requirements of a first responder or are part of an MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team) in the state of Minnesota\, you can qualify for FREE Registration. Due to this special funding from the Children’s Justice Act\, we are limiting registration for this course to MN professionals only.
