SUMMARY:Strong Families\, Thriving Children\, Connected Communities Virtual Data Walk
DESCRIPTION:We believe that neglect is preventable. You are invited to join us at our upcoming Strong Families\, Thriving Children\, Connected Communities (SFTCCC) Virtual Data Walk on March 17th from 10:00am-12:00pm because we believe that you share that vision. Register here. \nThe ICFW’s Strong Families\, Thriving Children\, Connected Communities  (SFTCCC) initiative is focused on reducing the number of families separated for reasons of neglect by creating a network focused on elevating practice innovations\, policy recommendations\, and systems change. We’ve taken the first step in building a shared understanding through a series of roundtables with Children’s staff\, people with lived experience\, and community partners over the course of the year\, now we’re focused on taking those insights and themes to develop evidence aligned critical pathways for action. Critical Pathways are specific problem/priority spaces that are focal points for elevating or designing specific and actionable system-level solutions. \nConnected Communities\, a key pillar of the SFTCCC initiative\, seeks to elevate the voices of stakeholders\, partners and those with lived experience from across the state and beyond. With your active participation\, the data walk will be an opportunity to review the data gathered over the course of 7 roundtables\, 4 Conversation Cafes\, and many hours of research. While engaging in dialogue with peers\, you will have the opportunity contribute to the statewide initiative by sharing your unique perspective. Lastly\, the data walk will demonstrate innovative data sharing techniques that can be replicated and personalized to use in your own community. \nWe hope to continue the journey towards determining Critical Pathways with each of you. Join us for the Data Walk on March 17th\, 10am-noon.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Primary Prevention through Postpartum Home Visiting
DESCRIPTION:1:00-2:00pm \nThis webinar will make the case that all new parents deserve to be offered a home visit by a highly qualified healthcare professional. Research has shown that postnatal visits can have significant prevention benefits\, including a reduced risk of child abuse and neglect. A new initiative in Racine and Walworth counties will be described that aims to ensure that all parents with newborns are eligible for a home visit by a public health nurse. Grounded in the principle of progressive universalism\, which balances equal access to care with an equitable distribution of resources\, this program will be tailored to ensure that each family receives direct care and connections to community services that match their needs. Register here.

SUMMARY:Building Brains with Community
DESCRIPTION:Sign up today for our upcoming Building Brains with Community workshop. \nBuilding Brains with Community is an interactive workshop* that inspires solution design to individual and community challenges. \nA child’s experiences impact brain development\, which builds the foundation for the child’s learning\, behavior\, and well-being now and in the future. If a child is exposed to toxic stress or harmful experiences\, that foundation can be impaired leading to negative behaviors and barriers to learning. A responsive\, supportive and reliable caregiver can reduce the negative impacts of those experiences and help build resilience through executive functioning development. \nBuilding Brains with Community(BBwC) is an evidence-informed training model that incorporates the Brain Architecture Game\, Strengthening Families and Protective Factors\, and Human-Centered Design models. Components of this training were originally developed and have been shared by the following: \n\nCenter on the Developing Child at Harvard University\nFrameWorks Institute\nCenter on the Study of Social Policy\n\nWorkshop participants engage brief didactics and play the Brain Architecture Game to reinforce understanding of the powerful role of experiences on early brain development: what promotes it\, what derails it\, and the larger impacts across a single lifespan and the costs to society. Participants will then use human-centered design approaches to spotlight critical pathways to community prosperity and wellness. This workshop series promotes a focus on resilience and actively builds your skills through discussion\, demonstration\, divergent thinking exercises and creativity. \nParticipant Benefits \n\nBuild an understanding of the impactful role of experiences on early brain development;\nBuild an understanding of the impactful role of protective factors on child development and well-being;\nIdentify person-centered critical pathways to supporting community wellness;\nLearn about and practice human-centered design and strategic learning skills;\nContinuous learning and implementation support through access to the BBwC Community of Practice (provided through virtual platforms).\n\nWho Should Attend? \nBuilding Brains with Community was created for general usage to engage community members and professionals within the “helping” professions. The workshops facilitated by ICFW are open to registration from (but not limited to) the following: \n\nFoster and/or adoptive parents\nFoster care caseworkers and child protection workers\nSocial service case managers and leaders\nHome visitation providers and leaders\nInfant and Early Childhood professionals\nMental health providers and leaders\nMedical providers\nCommunity support providers and leaders\n\nBuilding Brains with Community is a part of a broader initiative\, Strong Families\, Thriving Children\, Connected Communities (SFTCCC). A strategy at its core\, SFTCCC recognizes that more can be done to unburden families through shared learning and shared creating. Critical pathways must be identified\, crafted and evaluated by the people affected most. \n*Masks are required for this in-person workshop. \n

SUMMARY:Translational Design: An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:10:00am-12:00pm \nExplore how Translational Design can help you balance science with the strengths and needs of your community to improve outcomes. \nAbout this event \nYou are invited to participate in an Introduction to Translational Design hosted by the Institute for Child and Family Well-being (ICFW). \nRegister here \n\nWhy? \nChildren thrive when they have regular interactions with responsive\, caring adults. Families experiencing significant stressors related to financial insecurity\, housing instability\, or the impact of systemic and interpersonal trauma can be overloaded with stress\, interrupting those interactions. Over time\, and without adequate supports\, overloaded families can become vulnerable to adverse experiences\, ranging from toxic levels of stress to involvement in the child welfare system\, and even family separation for reasons of neglect. \nA staggering 36\,000 randomized controlled trials are published each year\, on average\, and it typically takes about 17 years for findings to reach clinical practice. Our understanding of brain science and human development has advanced dramatically in the past 20 years\, and many of our evidence-based interventions have not caught up\, so we must design and adapt solutions to ensure that they are effective. What’s in it for you? \nWhat’s in it for you? \nThe Introduction to Translational Design workshop is an interactive presentation of: \n\nThe impact of stress on childhood development and family functioning;\nEngaging content and context experts in the design and improvement processes;\nIdentifying and framing the challenges that overloaded families face;\nBrainstorming and designing solutions to the challenges that the overloaded families face;\nApproaching learning as an outcome; and\nDesign and strategic learning tools.\n\nHow? \nThrough an introductory session that explores why translational design is essential to balancing the latest brain science with the strengths and needs of your local context\, participants will begin framing their programs through these questions: \n\nHow might we center the voice and experience of overloaded families so that we may better understand their strengths\, challenges and needs?\nHow might we design our services so that they translate the latest science into the greatest possible impact on reducing the burden on overloaded families?\n\nWe hope to see you there! \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Parenting with PRIDE - Designing Group-based\, Telehealth Solutions with PCIT in Times of COVID
DESCRIPTION:One of the most profound and noticeable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic\, aside from the toll on the physical health of individuals and families\, is the impact on the mental health of individuals\, specifically in children. Inconsistency in school models\, pressures put upon caregivers due to loss of or changes in employment\, illness or death of family members\, and the stress of family isolation and lack of support led to a rush of referrals and a building waitlist of families looking for mental health treatment for their children at Children’s Wisconsin. \nParent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) has been referred to by experts as the “gold standard” treatment for children with disruptive behaviors\, and is a well-known\, well-researched evidence-based treatment for children with behavioral difficulties and adjustment disorders. In order to meet the growing need for PCIT services\, Institute for Child and Family Well-being clinicians at Children’s Wisconsin designed and implemented a program that administers core components of PCIT in a group setting by way of telehealth\, to reach larger numbers of families in a safe and effective way. \nThe Institute for Child and Family Well-Being is proud to host the webinar “Parenting with PRIDE – Designing Group-based\, Telehealth Solutions with PCIT in Times of COVID” with Haley Challoner Miller\, Child and Family Therapist II\, and Kate Bennett\, Well-Being Lead Clinician\, on April 14\, 2021 from 12:30-1:30PM CST. \nIn this webinar\, Leah Cerwin will discuss the following with Ms. Bennett and Ms. Miller: \n\nThe challenges and opportunities that led to the design of a program to provide PCIT in a group setting\, by way of telehealth;\nThe Program Design and Implementation process by which the program was created\, and how it was administered to families;\nHow Parenting with PRIDE is a change maker for families\, and what effects are seen after completion of the program.\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Executive Functioning for Child and Family Well-being
DESCRIPTION:Executive function skills are like an air traffic control system in the brain that helps us manage information\, make decisions\, and plan ahead. Stress and the lingering impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can negatively impact executive functioning\, making it difficult to effectively navigate challenging and uncertain circumstances. \nThe Institute for Child and Family Well-Being is proud to host the webinar “Executive Functioning for Child and Family Well-being” with John Till\, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at The Family Partnership\, and Jennifer Winkler\, Family Case Management Well-Being and Family Support Manager at Children’s Wisconsin\, on December 7th from 11:00-12:00 CST. \nThis webinar seeks to explore how executive functioning is impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress\, why it is critical to our child and family well-being systems\, and how our presenters’ organizations have developed and implemented executive functioning programming into their core service delivery through robust conversation with an experienced panel through their work with the Executive Functioning Across Generations and Mobility Mentoring models. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Strategic Learning and Social Innovation in Times of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Social innovation within our complex systems\, such as child welfare\, housing and mental health\, demands a difficult balance between trial and error\, responsiveness to those directly impacted\, and actively sharing learning to build on our progress and failures. Being a learning organization serves multiple purposes: creating institutional memory\, supporting just-in-time iteration\, and clarifying our hypotheses about our work. Engaging every staff member in these learning practices allows us to make our thinking visible to each other\, strengthening our hypotheses and uncovering hidden assumptions. By keeping insights\, assumptions\, and hypotheses at the forefront of organizational consciousness\, our learning practices ensure that the design of any future work is informed by the learning of prior endeavors. \nAs the ICFW serves as a translational organization\, it is essential that our decision-making\, planning\, learning and dissemination function fluidly and efficiently. While there is no shortage of new innovative approaches to improve child and family well-being\, our team must be strategic in identifying\, selecting\, implementing and testing in order to be effective in each phase of this process within our organizational capacity. \nDuring this webinar\, participants will learn about: \n\nWhy Strategic Learning is critical to effective Social Innovation\nHow the ICFW has implemented its Strategic Learning process and the tools that it uses\nHow the ICFW has used Strategic Learning tools to support the Children’s Wisconsin Community Services’ COVID Resilience Plan\n\nThe Institute for Child and Family Well-Being is proud to host the webinar “Strategic Learning and Social Innovation in Times of Uncertainty” with Luke Waldo and Gabe McGaughey on August 20th from 11:00-12:00 CST. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: Housing as a pathway to prevent child maltreatment
DESCRIPTION:Stable housing provides a foundation for health\, well-being\, and prosperity for children\, families\, and communities. Stable housing can positively affect a broad spectrum of outcomes for children and families\, including academic performance\, employment\, physical\, and mental health. Threats to stable and healthy housing are complex and intertwined with systemic and interpersonal factors. \nFamilies experiencing housing instability face increased risk of their children being involved in the child welfare system. 81% of families with children entering the child welfare system identified recent histories of housing instability\, including crowding\, homelessness\, and evictions. Housing instability is also linked to delays in reunification\, while placement in foster care  is also connected to youth homelessness. \nIf families experiencing housing instability are at greater risk of child maltreatment and placement into foster care\, how can we take a systems approach to support families coping with housing instability\, before getting involved in the child welfare system? Housing Opportunities Made to Enhance Stability (HOMES) is a systemic intervention focused on building new relationships\, sharing ideas and knowledge\, and starting new collaborations between housing and child welfare partners in the community. \nDuring this webinar\, participants will learn about the connection between housing stability and child maltreatment\, how to use a Systemic Intervention framework to inform your system change strategy\, and Lessons Learned from the ICFW HOMES initiative. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: “Trauma screening\, brief intervention and referral to treatment (T-SBIRT): An Introduction"
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Child and Family Well-Being is proud to host the webinar “Trauma screening\, brief intervention and referral to treatment (T-SBIRT): Introduction to a promising\, brief protocol for social service and healthcare settings” with Dr. Dimitri Topitzes\, Clinical Director of the Institute for Child and Family Well-being\, and Lisa Ortiz\, UMOS\, on June 17th at 11:00 CST. \nThis webinar will introduce participants to a discrete trauma responsive protocol – trauma screening\, brief intervention and referral to treatment or T-SBIRT – which has been implemented in various healthcare and social services settings in southeastern Wisconsin. Integrating T-SBIRT within such programs recognizes two interrelated truths: 1) most people experience significant adversity and trauma across the life course\, an assertion that is all-the-more salient during this time of pandemic\, stay-at-home orders\, and collective trauma\, and 2) frequent exposure to adversity and trauma undermines functioning across myriad domains including physical\, mental\, and behavioral health. \nDelivered by psychotherapists\, case managers\, nurses\, or other professional service providers\, T-SBIRT helps programs address the effects of trauma exposure among clients and patients. More often than not\, trauma is at the root of client and patient presenting problems. The protocol therefore contributes to effective and efficient trauma-responsive care and overall service delivery. \nDuring the webinar\, we will detail the T-SBIRT protocol\, which is based on SBIRT for substance misuse and requires anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes to complete. In addition\, we will review results from several studies that we have conducted\, indicating that it is feasible to implement T-SBIRT within healthcare and social service programs and that T-SBIRT may be associated with improved mental health and employment outcomes among social service program participants. \nDr. Topitzes\, who designed and tests T-SBIRT\, will lead the webinar along with Lisa Ortiz\, a supervisor who oversees implementation of T-SBIRT in her TANF program. Dr. Topitzes will outline the details of the protocol while summarizing T-SBIRT evaluation study findings. Ms. Ortiz will detail her experience with T-SBIRT\, highlighting obstacles to implementation along with perceived staff and client benefits. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: "Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) & Child Welfare"
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Child and Family Well-Being is proud to host the webinar “Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) & Child Welfare” with Dr. Emma Girard\, PCIT Master Trainer\, and Kate Bennett\, Children’s Wisconsin Well-Being Lead Clinician\, on May 20th at 1:00 CST. \nChildren who have experienced maltreatment and are involved in the child welfare system often exhibit behavioral difficulties\, and their parents often struggle to provide effective discipline\, may unintentionally engage in coercive parenting practices\, or may appear to lack sensitivity towards their children due to their own history of trauma. \nParent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) has been referred to by experts as the “gold standard” treatment for children with disruptive behaviors\, and it is a well-known\, well-researched evidence-based treatment for children with behavioral difficulties\, and has gained significant evidence particularly in the last ten years that suggests its efficacy for parents who have engaged in child maltreatment. \nThis webinar seeks to highlight the importance of PCIT being offered and administered within the child welfare system\, the process by which PCIT has been adapted and provided to meet the needs of these clients with complex lives\, and the positive outcomes that have been documented. Panelists will also speak to the challenges and potential solutions associated with providing PCIT to families involved with child welfare in the Milwaukee area\, as well as specific information on how Wisconsin families can be referred for PCIT services. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Webinar: "Making the Unspeakable Speakable: Making the Case for Trauma Screening and Assessment"
DESCRIPTION:The Institute for Child and Family Well-Being is proud to host the webinar “Making the Unspeakable Speakable: Making the Case for Trauma Screening and Assessment” with Meghan Christian\, ICFW Child and Family Therapist\, Dimitri Topitzes\, ICFW Clinical Director\, and Cynthia Franzolin\, Licensed Professional Counselor from Sixteenth Street Community Health Centers and Franzolin Consulting Services\, LLC on May 4th from 1:00-2:00 CST. \nTrauma-informed care has increasingly become common nomenclature to social service providers\, therapists\, researchers\, school staff and the general public. To become trauma-responsive\, it is essential to conduct trauma screening and assessment so as not to make assumptions\, miss vital information\, reinforce shame through silence and avoidance\, set inappropriate goals and lose rapport with clients. This practice creates many questions for professionals and clients such as why these topics are being explored\, how the information will be used and how the process is used as a change maker for families and\, at a community-level\, policies. \nThrough the process of gradual exposure and developing relationships\, authentic client engagement around trauma yields real partnership and voice from those most affected by trauma. Meaningful trauma screening and assessment between interviewer and interviewee is a reciprocal process of empowerment and education that constructs a foundation of frank openness. This foundation then allows for co-creation of informed service goals and treatment design\, resilience-building experiences and\, ultimately\, produces sustainable changes that actually benefits the individual\, family\, and community. \nThis webinar seeks to explore trauma screening and assessment\, why it is critical to service provision\, how it impacts the provider/recipient relationship\, and how trauma screening and assessment can be a change maker for communities through robust conversation with an experienced\, Milwaukee-based panel. \nRegister here
