SUMMARY:IHS | Supporting Neurodivergent Parents: Strategies for Strength-Based Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nParenting can be especially complex for neurodivergent individuals\, including those with ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. Challenges such as executive functioning difficulties\, heightened stress\, and communication barriers often intersect with parenting responsibilities. However\, these same parents frequently demonstrate remarkable resilience\, dedication\, and creativity in raising their children. \nThis training equips professionals with the tools and insights needed to support neurodivergent parents more effectively. Participants will learn how to recognize both the challenges and the unique strengths of “neuro-spicy” parents\, building a foundation of trust\, respectful communication\, and individualized support. The goal is to foster stronger partnerships that empower parents and promote healthier family outcomes. \nThis intermediate-level virtual course is for an array of human services professionals including social workers\, psychologists\, counsellors\, and other professionals supporting neurodivergent parents. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify key parenting challenges faced by autistic and ADHD parents\, including executive function issues\, stress vulnerability\, and communication barriers.\nDescribe the core strengths of neurodivergent parents\, such as resilience\, commitment\, and positive parenting skills.\nApply neuro-inclusive strategies that fister trust\, improve communication\, and promote skill-building in parents.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLaura Gaines\, MSW\, LISW-S.\, is a trainer and researcher with a current focus on resilience as an individual and community skill. She has been an Ohio Child Welfare Training Program trainer and curriculum developer for over 20 years. Laura has served as a volunteer on the Crisis Text Line since April 2020. \n​Her career experiences include being a child and adolescent therapist for over 20 years\, and 15 years working with children and adults who have developmental disabilities\, thus providing thousands of opportunities to work with clients and their families in moments of crisis. Laura has specialized training in Trauma Informed Care and presented at the 2021 Ohio Children’s Alliance conference: Eighth Annual Trauma Informed Care Summit. Her trainings focus on child development\, mental health\, developmental disabilities\, ethics\, trauma-informed care\, resilience\, and each person’s individual solutions to their life’s challenges. \nRegister Through IHS\n

SUMMARY:Propel Nonprofits Managing Cash Flow
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nWhile standard nonprofit financial reports – the budget\, income statement\, and balance sheet – provide important management information\, these statements alone do not tell whether there is enough cash on hand to pay for an unexpected expense\, to take on a new opportunity\, or even to cover payroll next month.  This webinar will help you anticipate and prepare for the ebb and flow of cash coming in and going out of your organization and identify ways to avoid and manage cash flow challenges. \nLearning Objectives\n\nKnow what a cashflow projection is.\nReview what data you need to collect to create a cash flow projection.\nUnderstand how to manage cashflow opportunities.\nUnderstand how to share the information with affected parties.\nHave a key tool to predict upcoming expenses.\n\nRegister through Propel

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Not Another "Self-Care" Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\n“Self-Care” as a concept had a promising start when introduced to the field.  At its best\, it was attempting to give acknowledgment that the job is hard and we need to honor ourselves. \nUnfortunately\, it has now devolved into a concept that\, at best\, is unattainable\, and\, at worst\, makes you feel worse (the exact opposite of what self-care is supposed to do). \nThis webinar will discuss concrete alternatives to the idea of “self-care” and address reasons why it can actually be a high-risk strategy for providers in the field. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:NCAC More Than One Interview: When\, Why\, and How
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nForensic interviewers and multi-disciplinary partners recognize the shortcomings of strict adherence to a “one and done” interview approach. Research provides some clarification of reasons why a child may need more than one interview and limited recommendations for implementation\, leaving forensic interviewers and their investigative partners with little clarity about how to apply this information to day-to-day practice. This training will review supportive literature\, introduce a decision-making process for selecting appropriate cases\, and guidance for conducting follow-up forensic interviews. Recommendations for explaining and defending the multi-session approach are included. This training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies and the phases of a forensic interview. \nRegister through NCAC\nRegister by Saturday\, November 1\, 2025.

SUMMARY:First Witness Training for Advocates Working with a CAC
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training meets all essential training components in the 2023 National Children’s Alliance (NCA) Standard of Victim Advocacy and has been approved by the NCA. \nFirst Witness Child Advocacy Center’s advocacy program bridges the gap between individual advocacy with one victim and system-based advocacy that creates change for many victims. This contrasts with more restrictive advocacy models that are based on delivering services identified by practitioners and systems rather than victims. \nThrough hands-on practice\, participants will learn how to put advocacy principles into action\, including: \n\nExamining advocacy principles through the lens of their organization\nChanging organizations and systems\, and\nCreating programs and interventions that meet victims’ needs.\n\nParticipants will practice skills for effective crisis intervention and advocacy\, problem solving\, and decision making around the toughest issues in advocacy work. \nRegister Through First Witness\n

SUMMARY:IVAT Making Treatment Accessible for the LGBTQIA+ Community
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. As facilitators of healing\, it is incumbent upon us to learn how to offer gender affirming spaces and make all members of our community feel safe. \nRegister through IVAT\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse The Intersection of Human Trafficking and Financial Investigations
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nHuman trafficking affects an estimated 50 million victims globally\, with approximately 400\,000 individuals exploited in the United States through sex trafficking\, labor trafficking\, or domestic servitude. This illicit trade generates staggering profits—approximately $240 billion annually—surpassing the earnings of major Fortune 500 companies such as Apple\, Amazon\, and Disney. \nTraditionally\, law enforcement has relied heavily on victim testimony to secure convictions against traffickers. However\, this approach presents significant challenges\, as proving a human trafficking case often depends on victims who may be unable or unwilling to testify due to fear\, trauma\, or other barriers. \nFortunately\, alternative strategies exist to target traffickers effectively. Like narcotics trafficking\, human trafficking generates enormous profits that are difficult to hide. This webinar will explore how investigators can conduct parallel financial investigations\, leveraging federal money laundering statutes and resources such as the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to disrupt traffickers’ operations and strengthen cases. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Addressing the Systemic Needs of Children and Youth with Problematic Sexual Behaviors (PSB)
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nJoin Geoff Sidoli\, MSW\, LCSW\, for a live\, virtual training on children and youth who exhibit problematic sexual behaviors (PSB). The presentation will address historical beliefs that inappropriately labeled\, criminalized\, and pathologized these kids while providing more accurate details about the nature and origins of their sexual behaviors. \nThese behaviors between children can range from experimentation and exploration that are developmentally normal\, to unwanted\, exploitive\, and abusive in nature. Distinguishing between appropriate and problematic sexual behavior can be difficult. These cases often warrant a thorough approach to understand the unique qualities of children and youth that cause sexual harm. \nThe session will cover the best practices for this population\, empirically supported services to address sexualized behaviors\, ongoing challenges for CAC and MDT leadership\, and supports to improve the overall lives of these kids. Participants will receive guidance on suitable services and resources to improve the coordinated response to children and families. In addition\, the training will discuss the need to train\, develop\, and sustain treatment resources for children and youth with PSB. Participants will learn about implementation strategies at the macro and micro levels and access relevant resources. \nLearning objectives\nAs a result of participating in this training\, participants will… \n\nIdentify methods that multidisciplinary teams can use to address the needs of youth with sexualized behaviors.\nIdentify and develop discipline-specific intervention strategies for youth with sexualized behaviors.\nCreate “takeaways” to develop and improve how CACs/MDTs can serve youth and children with PSB.\n\nContinuing Education\nTwo social work continuing education credits. \nAbout the Trainer\n \nGeoff Sidoli MSW\, LCSW\, trains CAC staff around the country to develop\, implement\, and sustain mental health services\, including an enhancement of TF-CBT for PSB. \nHe is NCA’s TTA for PSB and facilitates NCA’s YPSB national work group. Geoff enjoys traveling\, running in the mountains\, and cooking. \nRegister\nRegistration has closed for this training. \n

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. \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.
