Dr. David Mee-Lee Senior Vice President, The Change Companies & Train for Change

PRESENTATION

Motivating and Engaging Hard to Reach Consumers: Changing Compliance into Collaboration

Client hostility and discord occur in many situations, especially in people mandated to treatment. This can make it hard to reach clients and increase responsibility for and commitment to change. Using the structure of stages of change, Motivational Interviewing and client-directed services, this presentation will provide concepts for engaging people and their families, and building motivation for change. Such methods emphasize individualized treatment, person-centered care and empowerment and responsibility.

BIOGRAPHY

Stephanie Cooper is a former law enforcement officer and also a member

of ILEETA (International Law Enforcement Educator Training Association).

She has the professional knowledge of the law enforcement field as well

as having a child on the autism spectrum. As a mother of a son who is on

the severe level of the spectrum, and being a former deputy sheriff gives

her a unique insight on how cops should interact with people with autism.

One of her biggest fear is her child wondering away and not knowing

how to ask for help. The goal is to make sure all law enforcement

agencies have up to date training on autism. By law enforcement being

aware of individuals with autism and knowing and understanding the

different behaviors and characteristics of individuals with autism it helps

ensure the safety of not only the person diagnosed with autism, but law

enforcement on the scene as well.

Stephanie Cooper CEO/Trainer, The Autism Law Enforcement Response Training Corporation

PRESENTATION

A.L.E.R.T. Why Autism Training is Vital for All First Responders

Learning about autism is vital to all first responders because individuals with autism have difficulties with communication and social interactions and will have a tendency to engage in repetitive or atypical behaviors. All first responders need to be aware that their typical approach when encountering an emergency situation regarding an individual with autism may not work.

6 OCT. 03 WORKSHOPS

SESSION I

Domestically Violent Homes: Threats of Harm for Children

10:30am – 11:45am | ROOM TBA

Andrew Campbell Research Specialist/Statewide Education Program Coordinator, Indiana University School of Medicine

This presentation will discuss the specific threats of harm for children living in a home where domestic violence occurs. Common misconceptions will be addressed, including the idea that a child can be too young to be affected by domestic violence, physically observable signs of injury are an appropriate estimator of victimization, and the idea that children who do not actually see a violent act occur are not significantly harmed by it. Other topics to be discussed include: the various forms of child emotional maltreatment, toxic stress, child-caregiver attachment, “unavailable parenting”, the effects of witnessing threats or violence against animals living within the home, caregiver risk factors for domestic violence and emotional maltreatment, how to identify victims, and what to do once victims have been identified.

Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome – Identifying Best Practices

10:30am – 11:45am | ROOM TBA

Dr. Rebecca Dixon, MD, FAAP, Chief, Section of Pediatric Hospital Medicine, Riley Children’s Hospital

An interactive lecture designed to give attendees a firm understanding of the definition of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), the scope of the problem, how the syndrome is managed in the hospital, and what the outcomes are for the children who have been treated for NAS. It will also address confounding factors involved in NAS such as maternal smoking and outcomes, as well as benefiting factors such as breastfeeding. The aim of the discussion will be to enlighten, educate, and inspire attendees in the care of children who have had NAS.

Indiana’s New Mobile App on Sharing Information Regarding Children

10:30am – 11:45am | ROOM TBA

Leslie Dunn State Director of GAL/CASA

This session will share information and demo a NEW and FREE mobile app that provides guidance to child serving entities about when you can obtain and share information and records relating to children. The mobile app provides guidance for educators, healthcare and mental health providers, DCS, GAL/CASA volunteers, the Dept. of Health, children’s attorneys, probation officers, law enforcement, courts, parents, and corrections officers. It is available for both iOS and Android devices. The app enables users in the field to quickly determine whether they can share records, and if so, how to do it.

Family Law - Not Just for Lawyers

10:30am – 11:45am | ROOM TBA

Derelle Watson Duvall Attorney, Kids’ Voice of Indiana

Experienced family law lawyers will explain (1) legal standards for dissolution, paternity, and guardianships cases; (2) how family law affects abuse/neglect assessments and CHINS proceedings, and (3) how dissolution, paternity, and guardianship law can be used to protect children.

Katherine Meger Kelsey Attorney, Kids’ Voice of Indiana

7OCT. 03 WORKSHOPS

How to Make a Case Stick: Necessary Evidence in Order to Convict

10:30am – 11:45am | ROOM TBA

Courtney Curtis Division Chief, Special Victims Team, Marion County Prosecutors’ Office

Navigating the criminal justice system in order to ensure that an investigation ends in a conviction can be daunting. This presentation discusses how to uncover the necessary evidence in order to secure a conviction while avoiding legal pitfalls.

Helping People Change: Motivational Interviewing and Engaging People in Collaborative Treatment

1:15pm – 2:30pm | ROOM TBA

Dr. David Mee-Lee Senior Vice President, The Change Companies & Train for Change

“Denial” and “resistance” are expected parts of many individuals’ presentation. People are often not ready to embrace recovery from day one. Helping people change involves engaging them into a participatory and accountable service plan. Central to this is to quickly join with the client as a “customer” and build a therapeutic alliance. This workshop will increase skills in engaging people in developing a service plan that makes sense to the client. Participants are encouraged to bring clinical situations and vignettes for case consultation.

Dual System Youth

1:15pm – 2:30pm | ROOM TBA

Don Travis Deputy Director, Juvenile Justice Initiatives and Support, Indiana Department of Child Services

This workshop will review the Dual Systems statute promulgated during the Indiana 2015 Legislative Session and signed into law on April 27, 2015. The session will examine the nuances of the statute evaluating the points of discretion by the FCM or probation officer and the Court. The session will further review the implementation process of the Statute moving from the initial pilot sights to implementation across the State of Indiana. The presenter will offer an overview of the Dual System Assessment Team and how these teams address the definitions of Dual Status Youth within the Statute. The workshop will further review the role of the Lead Agency in dual system cases.

Know When to Raise the Red Flag: Sentinel Injuries as Markers of Severe Injury in Abused Children

1:15pm – 2:30pm | ROOM TBA

Shannon Thompson, M.D. Child Abuse Pediatrician, Asst. Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, Indiana University School of Medicine Riley Children’s Hospital

Seemingly minor injuries, like a single bruise, small cuts, and scrapes are common in active toddlers and school-aged children. But what if you see seemingly minor injuries in young premobile infants? Being familiar with when subtle injuries should raise a concern about abuse is paramount in the early detection of maltreatment. Studies have clearly shown that failing to accurately identify small abusive injuries when they first occur can have deleterious consequences for the infant and family like escalating injury and far too often, death. Attendees will be provided with the ability to recognize and appropriately respond to sentinel injuries and understand aspects of the appropriate medical evaluation.

SESSION II

8 OCT. 03 WORKSHOPS

Understanding and Preventing Professional Burnout and Secondary Trauma

1:15pm – 2:30pm | ROOM TBA

Dr. Richard Ruhrold Senior Vice President, Bowen Center

Protective service and healthcare professionals are among those at highest risk for three forms of “professional depletion”. Participants in this breakout session will learn to recognize the signs of compassion fatigue, burnout and secondary trauma and to identify the risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing these potentially disability conditions. We will also review protective factors and strategies that can help us remain inspired, energized and effective in pursuing our shared mission to make our communities better places for children and families.

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health

1:15pm – 2:30pm | ROOM TBA

Dr. Angela Tomlin Riley Child Development Center LEND

The emotional lives of very young children are shaped by early experiences and these experiences may continue to exert an influence into adulthood. For many families difficult life experiences lead to ongoing struggles with development, relationships, and behavior. This session will cover key areas of infant/early childhood mental health theory, research, and clinical practice and identify practical methods to enhance child development and parenting skills through support of the parent-child relationship.

Restorative Justice: Creating Communities of Support

2:45pm – 4:00pm | ROOM TBA

Kristina Hulvershorn Director of Restorative and Humane Programs, Peace Learning Center

The purpose of this session is to acquaint the participant with the concept of restorative practices and to learn practical ways to begin implementing restorative techniques with the individuals they serve. Participants will be able to articulate what restorative practices are and are not, will be able to explain the elements of the continuum of restorative practices, and will learn specific restorative language and restorative questions to utilize with their colleagues and youth.

PRESENTATION

How and Why We Got Here: The History and Neurobiology of the Opioid Epidemic

The current opioid crisis is not the first in the U.S., and many attempts have been made to combat opioid addiction, including banning the importation of opium and attempts to develop “non-addictive” opiates. Nonetheless, opioids are highly effective in treating pain, which they would not have been without the presence of opioid receptors throughout the body and in the pleasure center of the brain. Both the body and the brain are oriented towards avoiding pain and seeking pleasure; opioids do both. This presentation will discuss the historical origins and neurobiological reasons why we have an opioid crisis in this country as a means to understand people who misuse and abuse opioids.

The Effects of the Opioid Epidemic on Families and What You Can Do About It

1:45pm – 3:15pm | ROOM TBA

Brian Meyer, PhD PTSD-SUD Specialist, McGuire VA Medical Center

The current opioid crisis has had more destructive effects on families than that of any other substance except alcohol. In addition to the common effects of family conflict, separation, divorce, child maltreatment, child mental health problems, and child school problems, families with members who abuse opioids are also more likely to experience child poisonings, child fatalities, death of a family member, traumatic grief, and survivor guilt. This presentation will discuss the negative effects of the opioid crisis on families and provide some answers about what persons who work in the criminal justice and child welfare systems can do to help reduce those effects.
