SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Supporting Caregivers of Kids in the Criminal Justice and Social Services System
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCaregivers of youth involved in the criminal justice or child welfare systems often receive mandated services—like parenting groups—but those working on the front lines are rarely given the tools to evaluate whether these services are actually helpful or evidence-based. \nThis webinar focuses on the behavioral health needs of caregivers and how to support them effectively. (Did you know that one of the strongest predictors of whether a parent training program works is whether it includes direct\, hands-on practice with the caregiver?) \nUsing real-world examples—from the fact that grandparents are now the largest group of foster parents in North America\, to therapies like PCIT designed specifically for abusive or neglectful caregivers—this session offers practical strategies\, tools\, and insights for providers working with families across child welfare and juvenile justice systems. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:MN Judicial Branch | The Intersection of Domestic Violence\, Mental Health\, Chemical Dependency\, and Child Welfare
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nDomestic violence frequently co-occurs with substance use and mental health challenges\, creating complex family dynamics that are often misunderstood by the systems responsible for safety\, treatment\, and accountability. When these issues intersect—particularly in families involved with the child welfare system—they can obscure patterns of coercive control\, complicate safety planning\, and result in responses that unintentionally increase risk for both survivors and children.\nThis training examines how domestic violence\, chemical dependency\, mental health illness\, and child welfare involvement interact within individuals\, families\, and service systems. Participants will explore how trauma affects both adult and child functioning; how substance use\, and mental health diagnoses may be misinterpreted as the primary cause of abuse; and how survivor coping strategies\, including substance use\, are often viewed through a deficit-based or punitive lens. The session also addresses the ways coercive control directly impacts parenting\, child safety\, and family stability\, as well as how system silos and conflicting mandates can undermine effective intervention and family-centered outcomes.\nUsing a trauma-informed\, victim-centered\, and child-focused framework\, this training encourages critical analysis\, challenges common assumptions\, and promotes coordinated responses that enhance safety\, stability\, and accountability. Participants will leave with practical strategies to strengthen professional judgment\, improve cross-system collaboration\, and support more effective decision-making in complex cases. \nLearning Objectives\n1. Explain how domestic violence\, mental health challenges\, substance use\, and child welfare involvement intersect and influence risk\, parenting capacity\, and system responses.\n2. Distinguish the impacts of trauma\, chemical dependency\, and mental health conditions from patterns of coercive control\, particularly in the context of child safety and family functioning.\n3. Apply trauma-informed\, multidisciplinary\, and child-focused strategies to improve assessment\, referrals\, and cross-system collaboration to enhance safety and long-term outcomes. \nRegister through the Minnesota Judicial Branch\n

SUMMARY:First Witness | Training for Advocates Working with a CAC©
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training meets all essential training components in the 2023 National Children’s Alliance (NCA) Standard of Victim Advocacy and has been approved by the NCA.  First Witness Child Advocacy Center’s advocacy program bridges the gap between individual advocacy with one victim and system-based advocacy that creates change for many victims. This contrasts with more restrictive advocacy models that are based on delivering services identified by practitioners and systems rather than victims. \nThrough hands-on practice\, participants will learn how to put advocacy principles into action\, including: \n\nExamining advocacy principles through the lens of their organization\,\nChanging organizations and systems\, and\nCreating programs and interventions that meet victims’ needs.\n\nParticipants will practice skills for effective crisis intervention and advocacy\, problem solving\, and decision making around the toughest issues in advocacy work. \nRegister Through First Witness
