SUMMARY:Understanding Gender & Race:  Best Practices for Growth and Awareness
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we peer into the intricate dynamics of gender and race\, uncovering their profound significance in shaping individual experiences and societal structures. Through interactive discussions and thought-provoking activities\, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the importance of openly discussing gender and race. We will explore the concept of intersectionality\, recognizing how gender and race intersect and appreciating the nuances of their differences. Delving deeper\, we will examine the pervasive nature of stereotypes and biases\, illuminating their real-world impact on individuals and communities. Moreover\, we will delve into the realm of implicit biases and microaggressions\, equipping participants with practical strategies for addressing and mitigating these harmful behaviors. By the end of the session\, participants will leave with a heightened awareness of the complexities surrounding gender and race\, empowered to foster inclusivity and equity in their personal and professional spheres. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Expanded Child Abuse and Neglect: Recognition\, Reporting\, and Supporting
DESCRIPTION:Professionals who work with children are mandated reporters and are required to make a report when they have a reason to suspect child abuse or neglect. Presented by Kansas Children’s Service League and the Kansas Department for Children and Families\, this training addresses areas of risk and protective factors\, definitions and common indicators of child abuse\, and considerations for distinguishing poverty from neglect. Participants will also learn what to do in the event of a disclosure\, how to make a report\, what happens after a report is made\, and thinking through roles as not just a mandated reporter but also as a supporter of families\, and how we can support a family before a situation rises to the level of needing a hotline report. \nThis training is an expanded version of the 1.0 hour Child Abuse and Neglect training to allow ample time to discuss DCF practices and what happens once a report is made. This training is NOT KDHE approved for childcare licensing hours. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance for 2.0 hours of training. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Connections Matter in Early Childhood
DESCRIPTION:Every day connections are more important than we ever believed. Science tells us that relationships have the power to shape our brains. Relationships help us learn better\, work better\, parent better. When we experience tough times\, relationships help us heal. With each connection\, we develop a healthier\, stronger community. Connections Matter is a training designed to engage community members in building caring connections to improve resiliency\, prevent childhood trauma\, and understand how our interactions with others can support those who have experienced trauma. Connections Matter explores how the connections we make in life profoundly impact our brain’s ability to grow and our own abilities to cope and thrive. This is done through a training curriculum that educates participants on adverse childhood experiences\, trauma\, brain development and resilience. Connections Matter ultimately strives to promote the building of more resilient\, compassionate\, and trauma-informed communities – thus allowing all children and individuals to succeed. This training is pre-approved for 4.0 KDHE child care licensing hours. This is a virtual event. (Time includes half hour break for lunch) \nCEUs: This training is approved by KDHE for child care licensing hours. BSRB approved. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:A Shift in Perspective: A Preventative Approach in Supporting Families and Reducing Child Abuse and Neglect
DESCRIPTION:What prevention efforts are established that focus on preventing child abuse and neglect from happening in the first place? The answer is very little. This training will focus on primary prevention strategies to empower mandatory reporters\, help-seeking agencies\, and all individuals who interact with families in their communities to help alleviate the risks of child abuse and neglect before the need of a hotline report. Through a strengthening families framework\, emphasizing protective factors\, and individual and agency-wide equity awareness\, factors that impact child abuse and neglect can be reduced. This training will allow dialogue on this perspective shift and allow for attendees to brainstorm best practices and create achievable action steps to prioritize supporting families in our communities. \nThis training is interactive. Please plan to engage through conversation\, breakout rooms\, and the chat box. This training is approved by KDHE for 1.0 child care licensing hours. \nREGISTER HERE
