SUMMARY:ZAP | Sexting and Youth: What Every Professional Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n\n\n\nSocial media is not going away. As social media adapts and changes\, young people are either creating the adaptations or adapting right along with it. Professionals can face a steep learning curve as they attempt to respond to new risks in the lives of the young people they serve. This presentation provides tools to help professionals get on the front end of the problem before they are faced head on with challenging mental health or criminal scenarios around youth sending and receiving sexual material. The presentation will detail the risks children are facing and provide case studies\, tools\, and best practices for professionals working to respond. \n\n\n\nRegister through ZAP

SUMMARY:ZAP AI Literacy and Responsible Use for Frontline Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n\n\n\nFrontline professionals and faculty are increasingly fielding questions about artificial intelligence\, yet there is little consistent guidance on how to evaluate its use responsibly in child protection and human services settings. \nThis training focuses on where AI can intersect with child protection work\, without assuming uniform adoption or maturity across agencies. Rather than promoting specific tools or claiming insight into current practices\, the session equips participants with a clear decision-making lens for assessing potential AI use cases based on their organization’s context\, capacity\, and risk tolerance. \nParticipants will explore realistic\, high-level examples—such as administrative support\, documentation assistance\, training preparation\, and non-identifiable data analysis—while clearly distinguishing between what may be appropriate to explore\, what requires strong guardrails\, and what should remain strictly off-limits in sensitive work involving children and survivors. \nThe emphasis is on judgment over tools and decision-making over adoption\, giving faculty and professionals shared language\, practical frameworks\, and ethical clarity they can apply regardless of where their organization currently falls on the AI adoption spectrum. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nWhere AI can responsibly support child protection and human services work\nHow to evaluate potential AI use cases without assuming or endorsing adoption\nCommon myths and misconceptions that create unnecessary fear or false confidence\nReal risks professionals should care about\, including data privacy\, over reliance\, and accuracy\nA simple decision-making framework faculty and professionals can teach\, model\, and adapt\n\nRegister through ZAP
