SUMMARY:CornerHouse | Disclosure and Recantation: A Journey to Be Understood
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChildren who experience abuse or neglect may describe what happened to them in many ways. When a child talks about abuse\, it is called disclosure. Disclosures can be purposeful or accidental. \nDisclosing abuse or neglect is a process or a journey not a destination. Part of the journey often includes recantation or taking back the disclosure. Understanding the dynamics of the process a child may go through when disclosing\, including recantation\, can help us understand how to better conduct our investigations\, forensic interviews and therefore help in the healing journey. Additionally\, we need to understand this process\, including what the research tells us is “normal” to speak effectively on the subject in the courtroom. \nThis training will help learners better understand the disclosure process\, including recantation. Learners will gain knowledge and resources- including the most updated research- along with practical solutions on incorporating the information into practice. \nThis important training is being offered FREE to MDT members within the state of Minnesota. MDT members include any Child Advocacy Center (CAC) staff\, law enforcement/peace officers\, Department of Children and Families\, attorneys and advocates within a county attorney’ office\, medical providers and educators who serve/work with their local Child Advocacy Center. Please ConerHouse if you have questions regarding the MDT requirement. \nObjectives\n\nIdentify the disclosure process based on recent research\nRecognize the specific types of disclosures and how common each is\nUnderstand various factors which may impact a child in recantation\nLearn how to support a child through the disclosure process\n\nRegister Through CornerHouse

SUMMARY:CornerHouse | Empowering Survivors to Understand the Impact of Childhood Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nExperiences in childhood matter. Numerous research studies have shown how childhood stress and trauma can impact adult health. The Ace Study is the largest study investigating the health and social effects of negative childhood experiences. Now that we have the research\, what can we do about it? The cycle of violence\, generational poverty and abuse\, homelessness\, substance abuse\, incarceration\, perpetration and victimization of violence are all related to ACE’s. But what if this is my story? \nMany adult survivors of child abuse have not or could not receive a collaborative response to their maltreatment for many reasons. One\, statute of limitations. Two\, prior to Child Advocacy Centers being established at the time of the maltreatment. Three\, the lack of understanding and responding to potential child maltreatment at the time. Helping survivors of childhood trauma understand the impact that ACE’s may have on their health and well-being is step one. Acknowledging the barriers and times when a survivor feels stuck is step two. Creating tools and self-care strategies is the lifetime journey to hope\, health and happiness. You are NOT your ACE score. It is NOT a diagnosis. This training will not only help you to support current survivors but survivors who never received support to process their victimization. \nThis important training is being offered FREE to MDT members within the state of Minnesota. MDT members include any Child Advocacy Center (CAC) staff\, law enforcement/peace officers\, Department of Children and Families\, attorneys and advocates within a county attorney’ office\, medical providers and educators who serve/work with their local Child Advocacy Center. Please ConerHouse if you have questions regarding the MDT requirement. \nObjectives\n\nSupporting survivors to change their inner dialogue from “what is wrong with me?” to “What happened to me”.\nRecognize types of child maltreatment and adversity and how it may impact adulthood.\nIdentify risk and protective factors to understand what may be triggering and what is considered self-care and healing.\n\nRegister Through CornerHouse
