Healthy kids make good learners! Schools touch the lives of nearly every child and parent in California. Learn how schools have the power to connect millions of uninsured families to the health coverage they need and deserve.
My shared goal is focused on the importance of education. Many communities and countries lack education due to poverty. I think that everyone deserves the chance to a great education regardless of the many barriers they have.

Full-day session on the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework and everyday actions that can help families build their protective factors - in home visiting programs, early care and education programs, early intervention services and in communities.
This presentation was prepared as part of a group consultation assignment in the psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner program at University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center.
Educators play an important role in recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect. But they also play a vital role in working to prevent maltreatment from ever occurring at all. Because of their unique leadership position in the community, educators can be the link to making meaningful connections with children, their families and the community.
This webinar will take a look at National Child Abuse Month and how educators can make a difference in the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

This presentation was featured in a webinar that explored evidence-based approaches to engage youth and young adults from foster care in the prevention of unintended or untimely pregnancies. The webinar also highlighted effective supports for young people in care as parents as they tend to their own developmental needs.
Social Media has blurred the boundary lines of how adult service providers can interact and communicate with youth participants in programming. This training seeks to present best practices for outreach activities to youth that includes engagement strategies, codes of conduct, organizational liability, boundaries, mandated reporting, and digital footprints.

Intervention: Reporting, Investigation, and Assessment
Culturally Sensitive Intervention:
Cultural Competence Defined
• Culture: goes beyond race and ethnicity, including religious
identification, gender identity/expression, & sexual
orientation.
• Cultural Competence: “a heightened consciousness of how
culturally diverse populations experience their uniqueness
and deal with their differences and similarities within a larger
social context” (NASW, 2015, p.10)
Culturally Sensitive Intervention: Putting
Cultural Competence into Practice
• Determine family’s level of acculturation and the reason for
their immigration
• Assess how the family views a social worker’s power
• Understand how the family views itself, and their sense of
family cohesion
• Acknowledge varying communication styles
• Learn about culture, but do not over-generalize
• Consult with bilingual and bicultural staff
• Know how one’s (helping professional’s) own values interface
with the client’s
Understanding the Intervention
Process: Reporting
• Mandated reporters: individuals who, in their professional
relationship with the child and family, may encounter child
maltreatment.
• State laws specify repointing agency, reportable conditions,
responsibility of mandated reporters, and the investigation
process
• Although anonymous reports may be accepted, they are not
preferred since they do not allow for follow-up questions
Understanding the Intervention
Process: Child Protection Teams
• Child Protection Teams (CPT): comprised of staff from
different disciplines
• Ex) School-based CPT include an administrator, a guidance
counselor, school nurse, and one or two teachers.
• Suspicions of child maltreatment are brought to CPT.
• If CPT agrees with the report, then the child protection
agency is notified.
• CPTs are effective in medical facilities & churches.
Understanding the Intervention Process:
Investigation & Assessment
• Intake worker meets with the child & his/her family to assess
risk, protective factors, and impact of disclosure on stability of
the family
• If the report is substantiated, the worker identifies goals and
strategies for the family
• If unsubstantiated, the case is referred or closed
• Treatment planning and services begins
• Must evaluate the family’s progress and revise service plan as
necessary
Understanding the Intervention Process:
Family Reactions & Home Visiting
• The family is in a state of crisis, disequilibrium, when
disclosure takes place, experiencing fear: fear of authority,
fear of having the child removed, the fear of helplessness.
• Responses (defense mechanisms) to fear: denial, projection,
blaming the system, antagonism towards social services, or
withdrawal.
• Workers must evaluate the family’s strengths too.
• Home visitation allows assessment, but also requires
additional sensitivity and interviewing skills.
Assessing Risk and Protective
Factors
