Training Summary: 

 

In this training, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities in safety planning with youth & families in the community. The class will review key principles and best practices, and then have an opportunity to apply those to vignettes in small groups, with feedback from the trainer.

 

Throughout the training, there will be a discussion of how bias can impact judgements about safety, responses to safety, and personal comfort levels of safety. Participants will receive strategies to mitigate this bias and reactions.

 

Class Objectives: 

 

·        Participants will be able to identify key strategies in collaborating with families to establish effective safety planning

·        Participants will be able to adequately prepare for community-based work safety in the community.

·        Participants will be able to identify opportunities for bias or judgement to impact the process of safety planning and/or community safety.

 

How can participants utilize their new skills and knowledge after the training to reinforce their learning?

 

·        Participants will be able to analyze their current case load and create collaborative safety plans unique to each youth in care

·        Participants will advocate on behalf of their youth and families in care by examining the current processes in place under the lens of seeking out bias-impacted practices
