Description
In-person workshop.
This training meets the new NYS requirement for coursework/training in identification and reporting of child abuse and maltreatment (completion due by 4/1/25).
This workshop will focus on Mandated Reporting, Cultural Humility, and the value of relationship-building within potentially volatile family situations.
This workshop provides a thorough exploration of mandated reporting practices, emphasizing the importance of effective engagement with the client, family, and community stakeholders to improve data collection and facilitate proactive interventions. By fostering strong connections with the family unit, clinicians can better advocate for at-risk children and enhance the effectiveness of mandated reporting calls. The workshop also addresses strategies for managing interpersonal dynamics with clients and families, particularly in cases where a future report may be required and offers guidance on handling the emotional impacts of countertransference that workers may experience.
This workshop will account for cultural humility in worker/client/family connections and aims to assist in fostering meaningful relationships with family stakeholders. This session delves into the nuanced intersection of legal obligations, cultural sensitivity, and effective communication strategies. Taught using empirical research and interventions, attendees will gain meaningful insights that can be immediately implemented in daily practice, while honoring diverse cultural backgrounds and building collaborative partnerships with families.
With mandated reporting certification required to be renewed in New York State, this workshop is designed for mandated reporters in all fields and at all levels of experience. Collaborative learning will take place throughout the session, with an aim of growth for all who attend. By attending this workshop, participants will not only deepen their understanding of mandated reporting but also gain practical strategies for promoting cultural sensitivity and fostering positive relationships with family stakeholders.
Learning Objectives:
- Demonstrate the ability to recognize signs of abuse or neglect in a child or vulnerable population.
- Illustrate mandated reporting protocols to hypothetical scenarios or case studies, specifically employing multicultural examples.
- Analyze dilemmas that may arise in determining nuanced circumstances of unclear mandated reporting scenarios.
