SUMMARY:ZAP Munchausen by Proxy and Medical Child Abuse
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n\n\n\nMunchausen by Proxy Abuse continues to be under-recognized by those empowered to protect children. \n\n\n\n\nMunchausen by Proxy and Medical Child Abuse: Updates for Interdisciplinary Practice \nMunchausen by Proxy Abuse\, also known as Medical Child Abuse\, continues to be under-recognized by those empowered to protect children. Recent high-profile cases have brought Munchausen by Proxy Abuse and Medical Child Abuse (MBPA/MCA) under greater public awareness and scrutiny. This training provides updates for child protection\, legal\, medical\, and mental health professionals. A pediatrician\, forensic psychologist\, and attorney will share best practices that facilitate determining whether this type of abuse is occurring in the context of custody disputes\, healthcare\, education\, or therapy. Munchausen Support is a non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting survivors\, educating professionals\, and providing resources to anyone who seeks help confirming whether their concerns should be taken seriously\, and steps to confirm or dispel whether abuse should be reported. We discuss our model of providing free online support groups as a trauma-informed and evidence-based modality. The impact of recent media legal cases and media coverage regarding MBPA/MCA will be explored. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nOutline protocols for an interdisciplinary approach to investigating MCA\nIdentify barriers to protecting victims of MBPA/MCA\nDiscuss trauma-informed responses to MBPA/MCA survivors and non-offending family members\nDiscuss the implication of recent court cases and media coverage on mandated reporters of MBPA/MCA\n\nRegister through ZAP

Using strategies that routinely support all kinds of brains increases the well-being and safety of everyone involved. Trauma Responsive and Neuro-Inclusive strategies go well together. We will discuss ways to incorporate these strategies at the individual\, team\, and organizational levels. This intermediate-level virtual course is for an array of human services professionals\, including social workers\, psychologists\, counselors\, and others who are working in child welfare and related careers. \nLearning Objectives \n\n\nDescribe the concepts of Neurodiversity and Neuro-inclusion as they relate to human services work.  \n\n\nDiscuss the way Neurodiversity and Trauma interact with each other\, impacting people’s needs and behaviors. \n\n\nExplain how trauma-responsive practices and neuro-inclusive practices support and build on one another to benefit human services work. \n\n\nRegister Through IHS\nRegister by Thursday\, August\, 13\, 2026.

SUMMARY:APSAC | Pedophilia-Themed Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (P-OCD): Assessment\, Differential Diagnosis\, and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nPedophilia-themed obsessive-compulsive disorder (P-OCD) is a distressing and often misunderstood presentation of OCD characterized by intrusive\, unwanted thoughts\, images\, or urges related to fears of being sexually attracted to children. These obsessions are ego-dystonic and are typically accompanied by significant anxiety\, shame\, and avoidance\, as well as compulsive behaviors such as reassurance seeking\, mental review\, and checking. \nDue to the taboo nature of the content\, individuals with P-OCD are frequently misdiagnosed or reluctant to seek treatment\, increasing their risk for chronic impairment. Clinicians may also experience uncertainty when differentiating P-OCD from pedophilic disorder\, which can impact case conceptualization and treatment planning. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of P-OCD\, including assessment strategies\, differential diagnosis\, and evidence-based treatment approaches. Additionally\, ethical considerations\, risk assessment\, and culturally responsive care will also be addressed. \nLearning objectives\n\nDescribe the core features of OCD and specifically pedophilia-themed OCD and its presentation across diverse populations.\nDifferentiate P-OCD from pedophilic disorder and other related conditions.\nIdentify common obsessive thoughts and compulsions associated with P-OCD.\nIdentify evidence-based treatment strategies for P-OCD.\nAddress clinician discomfort and stigma when working with taboo-themed OCD presentations.\n\nRegister Through APSAC
