SUMMARY:Integrating Racial Socialization in TF-CBT Therapy for Black Youth & Family
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe negative consequences of trauma (e.g.\, physical abuse) take a disproportionate toll on Black youth due to the compounding stress of unique race related stressors (e.g.\, witnessing police brutality in the media\, microaggressions). This workshop provides an overview of interpersonal and racial trauma; presents research on systemic\, organizational\, client\, and provider barriers and facilitators to mental health service utilization; and discusses strategies clinicians can PRACTICE (Psychoeducation\, Relaxation\, Affect identification and modulation\, Cognitive restructuring\, Trauma narrative\, In-vivo exposure\, Conjoint parent-child sessions\, Enhancing safety) to integrate racial socialization into treatment to help Black clients heal from interpersonal and racial stress and trauma.\nAbout the Trainer\nDr. Isha Metzger is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Georgia and Visiting Research Faculty at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on AIDS’ at Yale University.

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

SUMMARY:The New York Foundling & APSAC Webinar Series on Controversial Topics
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nAPSAC and the New York Foundling are presenting webinar series on controversial topics.

It will discuss prevention strategies\, and put particular emphasis on the evidence-based track record of comprehensive prevention education. 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.

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.
