SUMMARY:The Child Welfare Reasonable Efforts Findings Study (REFS): Understanding the Study Design
DESCRIPTION:Judges play a critical role in making reasonable efforts decisions in child welfare cases\, yet there is limited research on how they make these decisions or how those decisions relate to case outcomes. This study seeks to fill that gap by examining judges’ reasonable efforts decision-making at the initial hearing of a child welfare case. The researchers will examine several factors that may influence judges’ reasonable efforts decisions\, such as pre- and between hearing communication\, hearing quality\, case characteristics\, and timing and frequency of review hearings. \nJoin the ABA Center on Children and the Law for this webinar\, to learn: \n\nWhy this study is important for the legal community\nFour primary research questions the study will explore\nStudy sample\, methodology\, and data collection approaches\nHow the study will inform the child welfare field\nPractical readings and resources related to this study to deepen knowledge\n\n  \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Creating a Model Victims Compensation Policy Guidelines for Lawmakers to Advance New Safety Solutions

SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Investigations for Sexual Assault Cases
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice\, will highlight the importance of conducting a trauma-informed interview of a victim of sexual assault. Trauma-informed investigative interviews provide an opportunity to not only meet investigative objectives and help close cases\, but also foster victim healing and engagement with the criminal justice system.

SUMMARY:Facilitación que Transforma: Construyendo Comunidades Virtuales Transformative Facilitation: Building Virtual Communities
DESCRIPTION:A muchas organizaciones de violencia doméstica\, la pandemia les ha llevado a cambiar la forma en que se ofrecen algunos servicios de apoyo. Es decir\, hoy en día muchos servicios de apoyo son ofrecidos virtualmente\, adaptándose así a la pandemia y a las restricciones con respecto a encuentros presenciales. Los grupos de apoyo son una parte importante de la intercesión de sobrevivientes de violencia doméstica. \nHistóricamentes\, han sido una forma de cultivar conexiones sociales entre sobrevivientes. El cambio a plataformas virtuales resalta que la facilitación efectiva de grupos de apoyo es fundamental para fomentar participación\, apoyo mutuo entre sobrevivientes e incluso procesos de sanidad. Los mismos principios se pueden aplicar a sesiones de escucha\, los grupos focales/de discusión y otros grupos en nuestras organizaciones. \nEste seminario web conversacional explorará las formas en que el campo debe adaptarse para construir comunidades virtuales efectivas. Afirmamos que crear un ambiente que invite la participación y que sea accesible puede fomentar cercanía aún cuando estemos físicamente separades.\nFor many domestic violence organizations\, the pandemic has led to shifting how advocacy supports are delivered. That is\, many supports are now being offered virtually to accommodate the pandemic quarantine and in-person restrictions. \nSupport groups\, a cornerstone of domestic violence advocacy\, have historically been one way to cultivate social connectedness for survivors. With the move to virtual platforms\, we know that effective facilitation is critical to engagement\, peer support\, and even healing in a support group space. The same principles can be applied to listening sessions\, focus groups and other groups across our organizations. \nThis conversational webinar will explore build engaging virtual communities. We assert that creating an environment that invites participation and centers access can bring us closer even when we are physically apart. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Elder Justice Decision-Making Capacity Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Every day the lives of older adults are profoundly and negatively impacted in both the criminal and civil justice systems based on mistaken assumptions and inadequate assessments of their capacity to make decisions for themselves. In order to raise greater awareness of these issues and improve how elder justice professionals approach these issues\, the Department of Justice will be hosting the Elder Justice Decision-Making Capacity Symposium\, a three-day virtual conference on April 19-21. \nThe Symposium will highlight what we know today about the aging brain and its impact on decisionmaking\, and discuss the protocols and tools available to assess decision-making capacity. The Symposium will then focus on the myriad of ways that perceptions of an older adult’s decision-making capacity can have profound implications on their treatment in criminal and civil proceedings. These may include elder abuse or fraud prosecutions not being pursued; unnecessary or inappropriate guardianships being imposed; and civil legal remedies being denied to older victims of elder abuse\, neglect and financial exploitation.   \nBy shedding light on the latest science as well as best clinical\, legal and judicial practices\, the Symposium aims to increase access to justice while promoting the self-determination of older adults. \nREGISTER
