SUMMARY:IHS The Power of Ethical Humility in Working with Adolescents
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nUsing ethical humility when working with adolescents allows professional expertise and client self-advocacy to complement one another. Ethical decision-making is particularly challenging with adolescents because legal rights\, ethical concerns\, and guidelines change as clients age. An ethical humility framework enables you to support your client’s growth and development while upholding your professional responsibilities. \nExploring the micro and macro levels of ethical humility in your work with adolescents ensures that you support your clients’ rights to self-advocacy in your professional role. The complex interplay of individual and parental rights with varied laws and guidelines requires careful consideration. As a child progresses from adolescence to adulthood\, their decision-making capacity evolves. Developing an ethical decision-making process ensures that adolescent clients receive appropriate care from professionals. Adopting an ethical humility perspective strengthens the professional’s ability to meet the client where they are. \nEthical decision making is crucial for all professionals working with adolescents. This intermediate-level virtual course is appropriate for psychologists\, social workers\, counselors\, and other helping professionals who work with adolescents in their practice. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the framework of ethical humility as applied to working with adolescents.\nDescribe the impact of changing developmental stages in addressing ethical dilemmas with adolescents.\nUtilize ethical humility principles in communication with their clients to prevent\, assess and manage ethical dilemmas\nDevelop a plan regarding professional consultation to address ethical dilemmas.\nRegister Through the Institute for Human Services\n\n

SUMMARY:CalTrin | Problematic Sexual Behaviors in Children and Adolescents: The Do's and Don'ts for the Criminal Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nWhen a child or adolescent sexually acts out it can be a scary experience for not just a parent\, but also for the provider working with the family\, especially if the child is justice system involved.  This webinar will first correct common myths and misconceptions about children who sexually act out (e.g.\, the supermajority of these children are highly responsive to treatment and are NOT pedophiles). \nThe second aspect of this webinar will be a walk-through of the evidence for how to treat these children and the likelihood of success (e.g.\, with appropriate\, evidence-based practices children 3 to 18 who engage in these behaviors are up to 95% successful in treatment and do not sexually reoffend again).  Finally\, the last part of this presentation will tie parts one and two together to answer the question of how providers in the criminal justice system can best help these families as well as keep the community and public safe. \nDuring this webinar\, participants will discuss: \n\nThe “rules of thumb” for addressing problematic sexual behaviors (PSBs) in youth.\nMethods that are contraindicated and counter-therapeutic for intervening in youth with PSBs.\nSpecific resources (e.g.\, NCSBY) and interventions (e.g.\, PSB-CBT) that are effective in helping youth and families impacted by PSBs.\n\nRegister Through CalTrin\n

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

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: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.

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).
