SUMMARY:Rethinking Prevention: Building Trauma-Informed Systems of Care in Child Welfare
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to the\n2021 Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors of Hephzibah Children’s Association \nWhen: Friday\, September 17\, 8:30-10 a.m. \nWhere: Nineteenth Century Club\, 178 Forest Ave\, Oak Park\, IL 60301 \nFeaturing Dr. Kimberly Mann\, LCSW\, Deputy Director of Research and Child Wellbeing\, Illinois DCFS\, who will discuss Rethinking Prevention: Building Trauma-Informed Systems of Care in Child Welfare. \nIn 2018\, Congress passed sweeping legislation aimed at reform of the child welfare system. The Family First Prevention Services Act provides incentives and regulation to strengthen services to children and families to reduce the harm of separation and the trauma of removal. As child welfare systems design new prevention-oriented programming utilizing trauma-informed and evidence-based interventions\, they must confront the realities of supporting profound changes in relatively brief timeframes for families affected by intergenerational poverty\, trauma and systemic inequities. Evidence-based interventions are designed to target very specific areas of functioning. Child welfare professionals will be required to use a diverse range of core practices to meet the challenges that engage families in a plan for change and really put families first as we rethink our approaches to prevention for families with these high needs. This presentation will provide an overview of the Illinois plan for prevention focused interventions for families receiving child welfare services. \nSince joining Illinois DCFS in 2008\, Dr. Mann has guided development of trauma-informed practices\, served as Project Director for the Illinois Birth-Three Title IV-E Waiver and leads implementation of the Early Childhood Court Team.  Dr. Mann has more than 20 years of graduate and undergraduate teaching experience in Social Work and 30 years experience with youth and families\, primarily in child welfare\, public school and community settings. \nThis event is free to attendees. \n*Individually boxed breakfasts will be provided for those who register by Wednesday\, September 15. \nVaccinated guests and those with a negative COVID test in the past 48 hours are welcome to attend in person.  If you wish to attend virtually here is the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89597994683. \nMasks will be required for all those in attendance\, and social distancing guidelines will be followed during the event.

In this case you will only need one computer/tablet\, but you will play together as one “player.” Only one person can play each game though so the household members will need to decide who plays each round. \nThis event is sponsored by: \n \n
