SUMMARY:MAC | Transgender 101 for Professionals Working with Survivors Who Identify as Transgender
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nPersons who are transgender have become far more visible\, which is reflective of greater societal acceptance. Still\, of the letters in the “LGBTQ+ alphabet” (lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, queer/questioning\, “other identities”)\, the “Ts” (transgender persons) more often face unique challenges relative to personal relationships\, public interactions\, and many other things that cisgender (non-transgender) persons take for granted. \nMany of the challenges that “trans” and nonbinary individuals face occur when interacting with governmental entities\, particularly law enforcement and the justice system. Gender expansive humans are both fearful and distrustful of those with power who can adversely affect their lives\, particularly when they are crime victims or witnesses. Certainly\, while many professionals are well-intentioned and compassionate\, there is always a risk that their life experiences and biases may come into play when interacting with trans or nonbinary people. \nWhat steps can professionals working with crime victims/survivors take to make trans and nonbinary people feel welcomed and accepted? What actions or words should they avoid? How does “passing” or not “passing” or the absence of legal rights in many states play into a transgender person’s daily life? And what are the mental health effects of the President of the United States attacking trans humans? \nJoin national speaker\, diversity consultant\, author\, and retired civil trial lawyer Ellen “Ellie” Krug as she shares what it means to be transgender and offers tips on how to be inclusive toward anyone who identifies as trans or nonbinary. The talk will include some brief sharing of Ellie’s personal story\, along with basics about pronouns\, “passing\,” and other issues. Come with questions! \nRegister Through MAC\n

SUMMARY:IHS | Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth: Challenges\, Resources\, and Professional Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nLGBTQ+ youth\, like all young people\, require environments that nurture their physical\, emotional\, and psychological well-being. They face unique challenges due to stigma\, discrimination\, and lack of understanding\, which can impact their developmental outcomes. LGBTQ+ youth can be at higher risk for suicidal ideation\, self-harm\, running away\, homelessness\, abuse\, and commercial sexual exploitation . These youth along with their families\, benefit from the support of compassionate\, informed professionals to provide services\, information\, and advocacy. \nThe LGBTQ+ community intersects with many other identities and communities. It is imperative that professionals maintain awareness of the intersectional needs of youth. In addition\, professionals supporting the needs of LGBTQ+ youth are having to factor in the rise of political initiatives to reduce or ban support of this population. This leads to ethical dilemmas and the risk of moral injury to the professional. Youth need consistent caring support from adults who are knowledgeable\, well-resourced\, and resilient. Professional self-care is critical so that adults can continue to provide ethical\, responsive care to the diversity of youth in the LGBTQ+ community. \nThis intermediate-level course is appropriate for social workers\, counselors\, psychologists\, and other human services professionals serving LGBTQ+ youth. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDescribe the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth due to stigma\, discrimination\, and lack of understanding including intersectional identities.\nIdentify a variety of approaches and interventions that support the developmental needs of LGBTQ+ youth.\nCreate a list of resources for support\, advocacy\, and information to benefit LGBTQ+ youth\, their families\, and their communities.\nDiscuss the awareness and implementation of professional self-care so that providers can maintain the resilience needed to provide ethical\, responsive care to LGBTQ+ youth.\n\nRegister Through IHS\nThis training course if free but $10 to receive continuing education credits.

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Witness Preparation: It's Not Just About the Facts
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nMany people are not happy about being called as a witness\, for a variety of reasons. For some people\, it is an inconvenience\, or they’re weary of constantly changing court dates. For others\, testifying will require them to relive something that was upsetting or traumatic. Witness preparation is the attorney’s opportunity to identify the source of apprehension or reluctance about testifying and address it so that both the witness and the attorney are prepared to present the strongest case possible. \nIn this webinar\, we will talk about preparing witnesses to testify in a hearing or trial\, both generally and in cases that involve difficult or emotional topics\, like domestic violence or animal cruelty\, and that require additional sensitivity to the witness’ experience. We will also discuss how to identify potential challenges with a witness and what steps you may need to take to ensure a clear record. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | Understanding Law Enforcement Culture: A Deep Dive Into Why We Act the Way We Do & How to Work Collaboratively Together
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nLaw enforcement personnel bring unique personality characteristics to the profession\, but they also develop a distinct “police culture” over their careers. From their first day in the academy\, officers are trained to keep themselves and the public safe\, and to maintain “command presence.” This training significantly influences their interactions with the public. In modern policing\, officers are expected to juggle numerous roles\, often without adequate training to manage the physical and mental challenges of a shift. \nThis webinar will not only delve into the unique characteristics of the law enforcement personality but also provide practical strategies to foster collaborative work\, resulting in improved interactions and community relations. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:MACMH Developmental Repair and the Intersection of Culture\, Race\, Trauma\, and Systems
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nIn order to help a young person heal from toxic stress we must hold in mind the core components of Developmental Repair (stress biology\, attachment\, family culture) while honoring the family and community’s experience of culture\, race\, and interactions with systems. In 2017\, Washburn Center and Northside Achievement Zone began formally training NAZ partners in the model bringing Dr. Anne Gearity’s concepts of joining and making sense to early childhood spaces. Each provider who uses these tools to increase emotional and behavioral regulation brings their own lived experiences to the relationship with young children and their families. When providers and caregivers are grounded in the principals of Developmental Repair and trust each other’s intentions\, we can work within and across cultures to serve the various needs of our scholars/clients. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand how unlearning assumptions about family culture can lead to better connections.\nIdentify ways adult/provider’s lived experience impacts how they take a child’s perspective.\nLearn how the intersection of racialized trauma\, development\, family\, and system impact scholar/client well-being.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nChantell Johnson\, MSW Candidate\nCommunity Wellness Program Manager & Family Academy Facilitator\, Northside Achievement Zone \nLauren W.
