SUMMARY:NICWA 42nd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference
DESCRIPTION:Conference Overview\nEach year\, NICWA hosts the largest national gathering on American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) child advocacy issues. With over 1\,500 attendees—and growing every year—this three-day conference has become the premiere national event addressing tribal child welfare and well-being. Keynote speakers range from federal officials at the highest level of government to youth with lived experience in child welfare systems. \nNew this year! For those who can’t make it to Seattle\, we have a virtual option. All three of our amazing general sessions with over a dozen wonderful speakers will be broadcast virtually. If you can’t make it in person\, consider being a virtual attendee. \nNICWA provides meaningful programming to conference attendees\, creating a space where participants can learn about the latest developments and best practices from experts in the field and from one another. Participants represent a cross-section of fields and interests including child welfare\, mental health\, and juvenile justice service providers; legal professionals; students; advocates for children; and tribal\, state\, and federal leaders. \nConference Theme: Together We Stand Preserving the Spirit of ICWA\nThe Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) of 1978 powerfully proclaims “…that it is the policy of this Nation to protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian families… (25 U.S.C. § 1902).” The spirit of ICWA ensures our children grow up with strong cultural identities\, rooted in the language and traditions of our ancestors\, so that our tribal communities remain strong. For over forty years\, tribal nations fought to uphold this declaration and constitutional protection of their children. This has never been more evident than the coalitionbuilding\, including grassroots efforts\, that occurred during the Haaland v. Brackeen case. We saw 502 tribal nations\, 62 Native organizations\, 23 states and D.C.\, 87 congresspersons\, and 27 child welfare and adoption organizations declare in unity their support for ICWA. Standing in solidarity with one another is how we achieved success. With this decision on the record\, Indian Country is emboldened in our work to ensure compliance with ICWA and strengthen its implementation. With ICWA’s solid legal foundation affirmed\, now is the time to work together to lift up tribal best practices and increase tribal child welfare capacity. To strengthen ICWA implementation\, we must put our sights on tribal and state relationships\, state ICWA laws\, state-tribal policies and agreements\, increased funding for tribal services including culturally based services\, and federal policy and data collection. NICWA’s 42nd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference features innovative workshops\, presentations\, and cultural activities that provide the expertise and experience to support this advocacy agenda and build worker capacity to continue the important work of providing cultural best practices for Native children and families. We welcome you to join us in Seattle\, Washington! \nConference Goal\n\nHighlight successful strategies for developing effective services\nReveal the latest and most innovative child welfare and children’s mental health service delivery practices\nHighlight tactics and strategies for financing and sustaining services that impact children\nShowcase strategies for involving youth and families in developing services and policies that lead to systems change\nCreate peer-to-peer networks that will assist each other in the work toward permanency for all AI/AN families\nShare the latest research on the well-being of AI/AN children and effective child welfare and children’s mental health services\, practices\, and policies\n\nWho Should Attend? \nAll individuals who are committed to serving American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) children and their families are encouraged to attend. Moreover\, many sessions target one or more of these groups: \n\nChild welfare workers\, directors\, and staff from tribal\, state\, and federal programs\nTribal leaders\nSubstance abuse treatment staff\nMental health service providers\nLaw enforcement\nJudges\, attorneys\, and court and legal staff\nTeachers\, counselors\, educators\, school administrators\, and staff\nBIA and IHS social service staff\nGrassroots community organizers\nPrivate practice providers\nParents\, guardians\, elders\, and extended family members\n\nRegister through NICWA\n*In-person registration is sold out\, but virtual registration is still available.

SUMMARY:CornerHouse Winter Webinar Week:  Forensic Interviewing Protocols
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nBeginning in the 1980’s\, leaders in the field of child abuse and neglect investigation identified the need for uniform and forensically sound strategies to investigate these cases. Thus\, forensic interviewing protocols began to be developed based on emerging research and practice. The first protocol to be established was done so by the National Child Advocacy Center followed by CornerHouse and the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC). Today\, there are many protocols widely used throughout the world. In this training\, we will discuss differences and similarities in many commonly used protocols. This training will also briefly provide strategies for working with a Multi-Disciplinary Team trained in varying protocols. \nObjectives:\n\nUnderstand the history of child abuse investigations and how that history shaped the protocols we use today\nUnderstand and be capable of recognizing the major Forensic Interviewing protocols used by professionals\nLearn similarities and differences between the protocols\nIdentify tools for the Multi-Disciplinary team to work together even when trained in varying protocols\n\nRegister through CornerHouse
