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:Screening Youth for Symptoms of Trauma and Suicidal Ideation
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThe Center for Safe and Healthy Children\, a child maltreatment program at the University of Minnesota\, has implemented a screening tool to identify symptoms of childhood traumatic stress and suicidal ideation.  The Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPM-PTS) was developed by the University of Utah and is expanding to Child Advocacy Centers throughout the country.  Based on the results of the screening tool\, youth will receive a referral for the appropriate level of therapeutic support which may include ongoing evidence-based therapy or an urgent mental health assessment.  All families will receive an in-office intervention (i.e.\, education\, mindfulness\, meditation\, square breathing\, journaling) to address their primary trauma symptom.  Communication between youth and caregiver will also be strengthened.  Today’s presentation will provide an overview of the CPM-PTS and how it can improve service delivery to children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. \nAbout the Trainer\nRebecca Foell\, LICSW | Program Coordinator\, Otto Bremer Trust Center for Safe and Healthy Children \nRebecca Foell\, LICSW obtained her undergraduate degree in Sociology from the University of Kansas and her Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin—Madison.  Rebecca has dedicated her career to working with children and families impacted by trauma.  She has provided outpatient mental health services\, victim advocacy\,  and crisis support and has most recently focused on program development.  Rebecca is currently the Program Coordinator for the Otto Bremer Trust Center for Safe and Healthy Children\, working with the multidisciplinary team to address issues related to child abuse and neglect through direct service\, research\, prevention\, and education. \nRegister Here\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. Ms. Miller is a Certified Trauma Practitioner with advanced training in the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics\, Body-Based Trauma Treatment\, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, along with training in PCIT/CARE\, Child-Centered Play Therapy\, and Attachment-Based Play Therapy.

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse How Do We Know We Are Making a Difference?
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nHow do service providers know they are making a difference in the lives of people impacted by crime? The best way to learn this is to ask the victims who received the services. \niMPRoVE is a free tool developed with funding and support from the U.S. Office for Victims of Crime\, Office on Violence Against Women\, and the National Institute of Justice that helps providers to do just that. It is an online platform that helps any and all types of victim-serving organizations create a customized survey for collecting feedback from victims on the services they received. It also helps programs see their results through an interactive data dashboard. \nThis presentation examines the importance of measuring service outcomes\, the range of intended outcomes that victim service providers strive to achieve\, and how providers can use this free outcome measurement platform and survey tool to learn from survivors about the ways services changed their lives. See a demonstration of how the platform works and hear from a service provider about why and how they use the platform and resulting data. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n
