SUMMARY:CalTrin | The Role of Accountability in the Coaching Process
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nResearch that shows that accountability is one of the key indicators of successful goal achievement. When a person sets a goal\, but doesn’t share it with anyone\, there’s a greater likelihood they will give up on the goal and choose an easier path. In the process of coaching and goal setting\, accountability is one of the foundations of the client-coach relationship. The coach’s role in the process is to act as an informed partner and a compassionate motivator\, not a rigid disciplinarian. In this session we will explore the importance of accountability to client success\, and identify ways to create solid accountability plans with them. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe why accountability is a critical factor for success in coaching\nIdentify the characteristics of an effective accountability partnership (informed partner and compassionate motivator) versus a rigid or punitive approach\nUtilize coaching practices that hold clients able empowering them to take ownership of their commitments through self-reflection\, resource identification\, and supportive follow-up conversations\n\nRegister Through CalTrin\n

SUMMARY:CalTrin | Psychological Safety: The Foundation for a Connected & Engaged Team
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCulture is a complicated blend of values\, assumptions\, perceptions\, attitudes\, beliefs\, behaviors\, and customs. But at the end of the day\, it all comes out in the way we interact. How we interact in the human services arena is largely created and sustained at the supervisor level. We find psychological safety at the heart of all of this—culture\, human experience\, and interaction. This training will center on the power of psychological safety to build a connected and engaged team. \nWe will discuss the impact of psychological safety on team dynamics\, individual well-being\, and the overall effectiveness of our services. Participants will learn and practice several ways to assess psychological safety on and with their teams and acquire practical strategies and best practices for promoting and enhancing psychological safety within their teams. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify three stages of psychological safety and their impact on team/organizational culture\nIdentify at least two ways to assess psychological safety on a team\nCarry out at least three practical strategies to promote psychological safety in teams and organizations\n\nRegister Through CalTrin\n

SUMMARY:IHS From Burnout to Resilience in Child Welfare Work
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChild welfare and related professionals face high risks of burnout due to the demands and emotional intensity of their work.

SUMMARY:First Witness | Is This Normal? Problematic Sexual Behaviors in Youth
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nHistorically\, the presence of sexual behaviors in children was societally met with judgment\, fear\, and misunderstanding. Realistically\, sexual play is common for children\, with 66%-88% of children exhibiting some form of sexual play in the course of their childhood. As professionals working with children\, it is important to understand how to distinguish between developmentally normal sexual behaviors and developmentally problematic sexual behaviors in children. This presentation differentiates between sexual behaviors that are more typical than sexual behaviors that are more harmful and uses this foundation for considerations on responding to problematic sexual behaviors. \nRegister Through First Witness

SUMMARY:IHS | Intrafamilial Child Torture: Victim Impact and Professional Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nIntrafamilial Child Torture (ICT) is a severe form of child abuse where parents or caregivers torture their own children. This often includes the perpetration of physical\, sexual\, and psychological torture and malicious neglect used as tactics to meet the psychopathological needs of the caregiver. ICT presents with unique family dynamics and perpetrator psychopathology that is different from typical maltreatment. It is often missed or misbelieved due to the extreme nature of the harm and sophistication of the perpetrator. Many ICT cases are not discovered until there has been a child fatality\, but we can learn from these cases\, intervene\, and prevent future fatalities. This training will provide a brief review of “What is ICT?”\, discuss the impact of ICT on children\, give recommendations for the many fields involved in child protection\, and provide an overview of 15 clinical and non-clinical interventions that have been helpful for ICT survivors. \nThis training is designed for the intermediate to advanced level professional\, but beginners and students are encouraged to attend to listen and observe. This training will combine lecture\, Q&A\, group discussion\, and real-life case examples. This intermediate-advanced level training is appropriate for child-serving professionals from multiple disciplines\, including child protection/child welfare\, forensic interviewers\, pediatricians\, pediatric nurses\, children’s attorneys/GALs\, law enforcement\, prosecutors\, family court judges\, mental health providers\, and clergy\, as well as any mandated reporter. \nLearning Objectives\n\nExplain how developmental trauma impacts ICT survivors.\nAdvocate for the use of meaningful interdisciplinary collaboration on ICT cases in their community.\nDescribe one clinical and one non-clinical intervention that has been helpful for ICT survivors.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nPamela J. Miller\, JD\, MSW\, LISW-S\, is a clinical social worker and attorney with expertise in trauma and child abuse law. Since 2019\, she has led the Child Maltreatment Policy Resource Center’s Intrafamilial Child Torture (ICT) initiative\, co-authoring policy papers\, training professionals\, and providing legal counsel in state supreme court cases on child torture.

SUMMARY:CalTrin | Trauma-Informed Leadership in Turbulent Times: Building Resilient Teams Through Compassion & Accountability
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nOver the last decade\, trauma-informed care has gained widespread attention across service systems such as child welfare\, mental health\, juvenile justice\, and beyond. Historically\, these practices have focused on supporting organizations and staff in providing trauma-informed services to the clients they serve. Yet\, in light of recent national and global challenges\, it is clear that leaders themselves need a trauma-informed approach to sustain their teams\, navigate moral distress\, and lead with clarity in turbulent times. \nThis interactive webinar introduces a comprehensive trauma-informed leadership framework that integrates lessons from organizational science\, implementation research\, and the lived realities of today’s workforce. Participants will explore the seven core practices of trauma-informed leadership—Boundary setting\, Reliability\, Empathy\, Accountability\, Transparency\, Cultural Humility\, and Understanding Errors—and how these principles can be applied to both daily decision-making and long-term organizational change. \nThe session will provide leaders with: \n\nConcrete strategies to cultivate resilience and psychological safety in their teams.\nTools for balancing compassion with accountability\, so that care and high standards can coexist.\nApproaches for addressing moral distress and systemic stressors without burning out.\nPractical ways to integrate trauma-informed principles into supervision\, communication\, and organizational culture.\n\nDesigned for leaders across services and systems\, this training emphasizes that trauma-informed leadership is not simply about client care—it is about how leaders model peace\, purpose\, and presence in every layer of organizational life. \nAfter this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDefine the seven core practices of trauma-informed leadership and describe how they apply to leading teams in high-stress environments\nApply at least three practical strategies to balance compassionate leadership with accountability\, including ways to address moral distress\, sustain workforce well-being\, and create conditions for resilience and psychological safety\nDevelop an action plan for integrating trauma-informed leadership principles into daily supervision\, communication\, and organizational culture to strengthen staff engagement and system-wide impact\n\nWho should attend: Staff in leadership roles at family resource centers (FRCs)\, Child Abuse Prevention Councils (CAPCs)\, community-based organizations\, and other child- and family-serving systems. \nRegister Through CalTrin\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse IPV in the LGBTQ+ Community
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCulture is culture\, and if you aren’t part of it\, you can’t always make sense of it right away. Queer and trans survivors of IPV often face additional barriers to safety\, above and beyond the difficulties all survivors face\, whether it’s from the specific\, identity-based tactics their abuser uses\, from an unsupportive or estranged family\, or a history of cold\, even contemptuous\, responses from those who represent the system. Even the most well-intentioned first responders and advocates can struggle to adequately serve this population without an awareness of these barriers and their history. \nLearning Objective\n\nDemonstrate both the differences and shared experiences of LGBTQ+ community members in general and IPV survivors in particular.\nApproach LGBTQ+ survivors with a deeper understanding of the barriers already at play long before the 911 call was made.\nRecognize the impact of words and actions that may seem innocuous from the outside and how slight adjustments can make a huge difference in LGBTQ+ survivors feeling seen\, heard\, and understood by first responders.\n\nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nMembers of the LGBTQIA+ community are at higher risk for suicide\, substance use\, not completing behavioral health treatment modalities\, and suicide. We know that treatment and healing have higher outcomes when safety is present in the healing spaces. Too many behavioral health professionals have little knowledge of queer identities and almost no policies and procedures in place to be able to offer gender affirming care.
