The training was developed by Seneca Family of Agencies in collaboration with Skye Nashelsky. The training ensures participants are presented with the Federal and State laws and mandates for reporting suspected child abuse. The laws will be shared and reviewed in detail with participants.

As online and virtual support tools become part of many providers service provision, it is important that they are aware of the legal and ethical issues related to telehealth support services.

Child trauma is a risk factor for numerous negative emotional and behavioral outcomes (e.g., depression, suicidal ideation and self-harm behaviors, anxiety, posttraumatic stress symptoms). Despite the increased risk, not all youth develop clinically significant problems. Research and clinical practice show that assessing for trauma exposure and related possible symptoms using standardized assessment tools helps clinicians better identify youth who have experienced potentially traumatic events, 2) their symptoms, and 3) whether a trauma-focused intervention is needed. This training will cover the impact of child trauma exposure and detailed description of one structured measure of trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress symptoms: the Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen (CATS) for DSM-5.

The purpose of this training is to create a renewed and heightened awareness of boundary issues in work with foster youth.

The purpose of this training is to create a renewed and heightened awareness of boundary issues in work with foster youth. Having boundaries is not just a matter of being professional. Appropriate boundaries are a key ingredient in providing the children in our care with the highest quality of care, which often times requires us to build trusting and healing relationships with them.

This training is designed for educators, mentors, and youth-service professionals working with youth who often feel disconnected from the way young people think and engage with the world today. With social media and digital access shaping youth perspectives, many young people believe they know more than adults due to their ability to quickly access information. This course creates a space for mutual understanding, cultural and relational competency building, as well as helping adults respect and understand youth perspectives while also helping youth recognize the value of experience, wisdom, and critical thinking.

Service and support providers who work directly with at-risk children and system-involved youth (SIY) are mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect. It is critical that mandated reporters and caregivers of system-involved youth are trained to recognize the signs of different types of abuse or neglect. Additionally, a mandated reporter must fully understand how and where to report suspected abuse in accordance with their legal obligation.

In this workshop, we will demonstrate through theory and practice how play therapy can help enliven, sharpen, and make more authentic the therapeutic encounter in a school setting.

The training was developed by Seneca Family of Agencies in collaboration with Skye Nashelsky. The training ensures participants are presented with the Federal and State laws and mandates for reporting suspected child abuse. The laws will be shared and reviewed in detail with participants. The training is also based on research regarding risk factors that may lead to abuse and reviews childhood stages of development in order to help determine whether a child’s behavior or physical symptoms are

As online and virtual support tools become part of many providers service provision, it is important that they are aware of the legal and ethical issues related to telehealth support services.

Child trauma is a risk factor for numerous negative emotional and behavioral outcomes (e.g., depression, suicidal ideation and self-harm behaviors, anxiety, posttraumatic stress symptoms). Despite the increased risk, not all youth develop clinically significant problems. Research and clinical practice show that assessing for trauma exposure and related possible symptoms using standardized assessment tools helps clinicians better identify youth who have experienced potentially traumatic events, 2) their symptoms, and 3) whether a trauma-focused intervention is needed. This training will cover the impact of child trauma exposure and detailed description of one structured measure of trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress symptoms: the Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen (CATS) for DSM-5.

The purpose of this training is to create a renewed and heightened awareness of boundary issues in work with foster youth.

The purpose of this training is to create a renewed and heightened awareness of boundary issues in work with foster youth. Having boundaries is not just a matter of being professional. Appropriate boundaries are a key ingredient in providing the children in our care with the highest quality of care, which often times requires us to build trusting and healing relationships with them.

This training is designed for educators, mentors, and youth-service professionals working with youth who often feel disconnected from the way young people think and engage with the world today. With social media and digital access shaping youth perspectives, many young people believe they know more than adults due to their ability to quickly access information. This course creates a space for mutual understanding, cultural and relational competency building, as well as helping adults respect and understand youth perspectives while also helping youth recognize the value of experience, wisdom, and critical thinking.

Service and support providers who work directly with at-risk children and system-involved youth (SIY) are mandated reporters of child abuse and neglect. It is critical that mandated reporters and caregivers of system-involved youth are trained to recognize the signs of different types of abuse or neglect. Additionally, a mandated reporter must fully understand how and where to report suspected abuse in accordance with their legal obligation.
