SUMMARY:APSAC Are Child Welfare Case Outcomes Black and White? Responding to Race Disparities Perceived by Permanency Professionals and Caregivers of Black Children
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nWhen children are removed from their homes because of neglect or abuse\, the goal of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is to return them to a loving\, safe\, stable\, and permanent home as soon as possible. Ideally\, children are reunified with their parents\, but when this cannot be done safely\, the alternatives are often adoption or guardianship. Unfortunately\, the most recent statistics show that 48.1% of children and youth who entered substitute care in Illinois in 2019 were not placed in a permanent home within three years. The difficulty of placing children in permanent homes is worse for Black children in substitute care. More White children entering substitute care in Illinois in 2019 reached a permanent home within three years (56.6%) than Black children (45.7%). \nThis webinar shares findings from a recent study that used both interviews and surveys to capture the perceptions of caregivers of Black children and permanency professionals on the role of race in permanency practices. Participants shared how factors like inequitable treatment\, implicit bias\, deficiencies in cultural competency\, and structural racism impact permanency for Black youth in Illinois. Furthermore\, Black caseworkers and supervisors were significantly more likely than White caseworkers and supervisors to report that they perceived racial disparities\, reinforcing the importance of engaging Black child welfare workers’ perspectives in identifying and addressing racial inequities for Black children in child welfare. \nIt will take concerted efforts and cultural changes to reduce racial disparities for Black children in Illinois. We will discuss steps the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services are taking to change both practice and culture to better serve Black children in care and their families. This includes a new initiative to increase guardianship across the state and important legislation changes promoting guardianship as a permanent family arrangement. The Department is also working to mitigate implicit biases and build cultural competency and humility into the agency’s culture. Participants will be invited to share their observations of the role of race in permanency in their jurisdiction and any efforts they are part of that are aimed at reducing racial inequities in permanency. \nLearning Objectives\n\nAttendees will be able to identify what caseworkers and supervisors perceive as the most common differences between Black and White children and families in permanency planning\, use of guardianship and adoption\, and child well system supports.\nAttendees will understand why it is important to explore the differences in perception between Black and White permanency professionals and caregivers\, especially regarding issues of race.\nAttendees will be able to describe the efforts one state is making to reduce racial disparities throughout their child welfare system.\n\nAbout Presenters\nDagene Z.

SUMMARY:APSAC Contemporary Challenges Facing Black Youth Part Three
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nPart Three: Resilience & Resistance: Black Youth and Families’ Navigation of Racism-Related Stress \nKeniston (1978) asserted that Black youth are “the most endangered children in our society.” Indeed\, Black children and teenagers are exposed to myriad adversities\, particularly those that emanate from the legacy of racism in this country. Yet\, despite deficit-oriented narratives concerning them\, Black youth—and their families—have continued to demonstrate remarkable psychosocial resilience. This resilience is cultivated drawing upon racial-ethnic protective factors (REPFs) within Black families\, including racial socialization and racial identity. In this presentation\, conceptual and empirical work on mechanisms undergirding the salutary benefit of REPFs for Black youth and caregivers will be discussed. This presentation will conclude with a discussion of ongoing and future research\, which seeks to imagine novel ways that resistance from racism-related stress can support the psychosocial health of Black youth. \nAbout Presenter\nShawn Jones\, PhD – Dr. Shawn Jones is an Assistant Professor in the Counseling Program in the Psychology Department at Virginia Commonwealth University. Prior to relocating to Richmond\, Dr. Jones was a National Science Foundation SBE Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education. He received his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was a Child Clinical Psychology Predoctoral intern at UCLA. He also holds a Master of Health Science in Mental Health from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health (2010) and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Duke University (2008). \nRegister through APSAC\n\nAPSAC Members: Free\nNon-Member: $25\n\nCancellation Policy\nNo cancellations.

SUMMARY:MACMH A Personal & Professional Perspective on Transitions: Supporting Queer and Trans Youth
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nMinnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health (MACMH) is presenting a training opportunity with Iggy Gehlen\, Marketing\, Communications & Development Manager at Annex Teen Clinic. \nMinnesota is portrayed as a friendly place and a refuge as legislation passed in neighboring states becomes increasingly hostile to queer and trans people. But while legal protections remain strong in Minnesota\, workplace practices\, soft skills\, and social norms still leave a lot to be desired. These gaps in care are even harder to bridge for those with less resources and autonomy\, such as young people. This session will provide concrete steps\, clear language\, and general advice you can use to make your practices\, physical space\, and policies accessible and welcoming to queer and trans community members. \nThis training will address working with clients of all ages\, primarily with a focus on teens and young adults. This training is for professionals working in education\, healthcare\, mental health services\, social services\, and family members. \nLearning Objectives\n\nTo increase understanding of the cultural and societal experiences of queer and trans people in the United States.\nTo allow opportunities to examine current perceptions\, standards\, and practices for interfacing with and caring for queer and trans youth.\nTo provide tangible actions and skills people can use to increase accessibility and cultural competency of care in organizations and systems.\n\nAbout Presenter\nIggy Gehlen (he/him) is a queer and trans man with years of experience in the fields of public health\, public policy\, and nonprofit management. His expertise lies in strategic planning\, equity and access\, marketing and communications\, and data and evaluation. He hopes to support local organizations and communities by promoting equity and access in all that we do and ensuring everyone who engages with us feels safe\, informed\, and empowered. \nRegister through MACMH\nThis webinar is expected to be approved for 1.5 hours of cultural competency content\, one hour of ethics content\, and 0.2 hours of clinical content. \n

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:APSAC Contemporary Challenges facing Black Youth
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nAfrican-American youth – particularly males – face a multitude of historic and contemporary traumatic stressors that impede or obstruct holistic healthy development.  These types of traumas manifest in multiple settings and points on the developmental timeline to the mental\, emotional\, and physical detriment of these youth.  Culturally-grounded approaches to mental health services for intervention and prevention programs offer a creative framework for interrupting chronic patterns and connecting strengths-based resources in response to these youth crises.  This presentation will highlight a creative culturally-rooted approach called Hip-Hop H.E.A.L.S.! that strategically uses Rap music and Hip-Hop culture to engage\, illustrate\, and motivate trauma-informed evidence-based practices among diverse youth\, families\, and communities.  This presentation will focus on the use of the H3 model with African-American male adolescents as a program exemplar with implications for expanding traditional frameworks for service development and delivery. \nAbout Presenter\nJaleel K. Abdul-Adil\, PhD\nDr. Abdul-Adil’s career interest is culturally-sensitive\, ecologically-appropriate\, and evidence-based practices for low-income urban youth and families. His current research focuses on family-focused interventions for youth with trauma and co-occurring disruptive behavior and community violence exposure that are provided through university-community partnerships\, service system collaborations\, and national provider networks. Dr. AbdulAdil is also one of the originators and nationally-renowned experts on the use of modern Rap music and HipHop culture to enrich psychosocial interventions for urban youth. \nRegister through APSAC

SUMMARY:CornerHouse Winter Webinar Week: Strangulation - What You Don't Know Can Kill You
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nStrangulation and suffocation often occur within abusive and violent relationships and acts. Often the victim doesn’t recognize signs and symptoms such as loss of consciousness\, labored breathing\, horse and rasping vocalizations and delayed symptoms such as dizziness\, nausea and blood clots. Unfortunately\, many professionals also miss the symptoms and fail to screen for strangulation and/or suffocation. If you work with victims of child abuse\, domestic violence\, sexual assault and general assault\, adding screening questions is imperative. Not only is strangulation a felony\, it is also potentially deadly immediately and delayed for victims. Please join to be introduced to the basics of strangulation and suffocation. \nLearning Objectives\n\n\nIdentify signs and symptoms of strangulation and suffocation. \n\n\nLearn some screening questions when working with victims. \n\n\nRecognize risk factors that are related to strangulation and suffocation. \n\n\nRegister through CornerHouse

SUMMARY:Normal is Normal: Effective Use of Medical Evidence in the Prosecution of Child Sexual Abuse Cases
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nJoin us this December for the End of Year Prosecutor Webinar Series\, brought to you by the Trauma-informed Prosecutor Project (TiPP)\, funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Our December Prosecutor Institute promises to be an insightful journey\, spanning three weeks and encompassing six crucial topics. To accommodate participants across different time zones\, each topic will be presented twice on its designated day. Be sure to register separately for each training session you wish to attend. \nThis webinar will discuss the importance of pediatric sexual assault exams in cases of child sexual abuse and how to present the findings of that exam to a jury. A majority of the exams will be “normal” and that evidence can be used to corroborate a child’s statement using expert medical testimony. The testimony of the expert can also be used to explain anatomy which gives prosecutors medical evidence to argue issues of penetration. \nLearning Objectives \nGain a comprehensive understanding of the process and protocol involved in conducting a pediatric sexual assault examination.\nUtilize “typical” examination findings to validate and reinforce a child’s disclosure of sexual assault.\nCultivate expertise in preparing medical witnesses and effectively employing their testimony to establish the element of penetration in a sexual assault case. \nAbout Presenter\nKathleen Nolan – Senior Attorney \nKathleen Nolan is a Senior Attorney with Zero Abuse Project. She joined the team in May of 2021.  She brings over 15 years of experience as a Prosecutor in the area of Child Protection. \nKathleen previously served as the Chief of the Children’s Justice Division in the Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office in Madison County\, Illinois. She was appointed to that role in 2015 after joining the office in 2013. The Children’s Justice Division handled the charging and prosecution of all child victim cases in the county including physical abuse\, sexual assault and child deaths.
