DESCRIPTION:This training meets all essential components in the NCA Standard of Advocacy. \nNote: This training will take place online over three days: June 10\, 17 and 24\, 2020. \nFirst Witness Advocacy bridges the gap between individual advocacy with one victim and system-based advocacy that creates change for many victims.

How does our language access plan monitoring help us achieve a more organized response?

DESCRIPTION:This training meets all essential components in the NCA Standard of Advocacy. \nNote: This training will take place online over three days: May 11\, 18 and 26\, 2020. \nFirst Witness Advocacy bridges the gap between individual advocacy with one victim and system-based advocacy that creates change for many victims.

SUMMARY:Pathways to Arrest for Serious Offenses Among Children: Implications on Violence Against Children
DESCRIPTION:Session Overview\nExisting studies point to increasing relationships between child abuse and criminal offending in adulthood. However\, little is known about how child abuse and neglect victimization and out of home placement predict arrests for serious offenses such as murder and homicide\, at childhood. This study assessed predictive pathways linking child abuse and neglect victimization and out of home placement to arrest for serious offenses as a child. \nPrevalence of child abuse and neglect\, out of home placement\, and arrest for serious offenses in 87 counties in Minnesota were assessed using bivariate and multivariate approaches. Analyses of race differences addressed the consistency of path coefficients across race. Results for 87 counties showed that child abuse and neglect victimization and out of home placement predicted involvement in serious crimes as a child. Implications for policy\, advocacy\, law enforcement\, and research will be discussed. \nPresenter\nKingsley Chigbu\, Ph.D. Assistant Professor\, University of St Thomas\, College of Health\, School of Social Work \nDr. Chigbu is assistant professor at University of St Thomas\, College of Health\, School of Social Work\, where he teaches primarily in the doctoral program and serves as the doctoral program assessment coordinator.

SUMMARY:Elicit and Identify Protective Factors in Domestic Violence Cases Within the Forensic Interview
DESCRIPTION:Brief Overview\nThis session’s goal is to bridge work of the Duluth Model Coordinated Community Response (CCR) in conjunction with the Child Advocacy Center model. Domestic violence and child abuse maltreatment co-occurrence is exceptionally high in child abuse investigations. These cases are further challenging due to intentional or unintentional contamination of memories ensuring secrecy by a batterer. Multi-disciplinary team members and systems partners may not recognize the protective factors utilized by survivors and/or the non-offending caregiver. This session will incorporate research on protective measures and the experiences of domestic violence survivors from focus groups conducted in Duluth\, MN. The session will cover additional sample questions for forensic interviews to elicit protective factors of the non-offending caregiver. Foundational domestic violence knowledge preferred. \nExpert Presenter\nLaura Gapske\, In her 15 + years of experience\, Laura has dedicated her life professionally and personally to ending the violence against women and children. She serves as the co-chair of the St. Louis County Mortality Review Committee for child protection services.

Her role maximized the safety of victims who experience domestic violence by working to enhance and maintain an effective coordinated community response to domestic violence. She effectively works with all women\, the men who batter them\, and their families through systems change methodology. She participates in the development\, expansion\, and executes training for Zero Abuse Project Child First® Forensic Interview Training and DAIP’s National Training Project. \nShe conducts forensic interviews and court testimony when allegations of maltreatment or abuse arise to support investigations by social services and/or law enforcement while working with the multi-disciplinary team. Laura provides additional national training on Co-Occurrence: Domestic Violence and Child Sex Abuse Training for Advocates\, Advocacy Training for Advocates within a CAC\, forensic interviewing\, policies and procedures\, narrative practice\, multidisciplinary team development\, and dynamics of maltreatment and abuse. \nIn her personal life\, she serves as an elected official on her local school board and is the proud mother of two boys that are avid soccer players.
