Participants will learn how to assess the sexual behaviors of children under the age of 12 years and categorize what is normal sexual behavior, concerning behavior, and need of professional intervention. How to make effective safety plans and supervision rules for child and family. How to report and who to report to. Participants will then be able to use tools for intervening on sexually reactive, normal sexual curiosity, and children who are sexually abusive to others.
Participants will learn how to teach different boundaries both body and feeling boundaries and the feelings of shame and how to effectively manage the feelings of shame.
Participants will also be able to identify all the ways that kids can get into serious trouble for sexual behavior, distorted thinking that leads to sexual behaviors, and the feelings about one's self.
Participants will then learn how to work with kids on their own victimization, the clarification process of talking about the behavior (with the other child if that's possible that might have been involved) and how to maintain the safety plan over time.

Video content from proposed CJC Harm of Removal Virtual Workshop(s) will be included.

Burnout affects millions of Americans each year and has been called “the disease of our civilization.” The unhappiness and detachment burnout causes can threaten your job, your relationships, and your health. But there’s good news -- burnout can be healed. Former 20-year elected District Attorney, MARK YARBROUGH, from Littlefield, Texas (hometown of Waylon Jennings), personally experienced burnout, learned how to successfully overcome it, and went from “Burnout” to “On Fire!” He has since become a “burnout expert” and has written and published on the subject. Mark is a very entertaining, motivating and inspiring speaker. He has taught thousands of people how to overcome Burnout -- from companies like Blue Bell Ice Cream and Xcel Energy, to teachers and doctors/nurses, to a variety of government workers (police officers, CPS workers, attorneys, victim’s rights advocates, counselors, mental health professionals, etc.). Audience members will learn the definition of Burnout and the symptoms thereof. But more importantly, attendees will be laughing, and at the same time learning how to apply Mark’s F.I.N.G.E.R. philosophy to help themselves or their co-workers avoid and/or recover from Burnout. This is a training that you won’t want to miss!

Many of the discussions, prevention/intervention programming, as well as front lineassessments are designed to target either the victim (survivor) of sex trafficking or the
buyer by addressing demand through legal interventions or educational programming.
Often missing from anti-trafficking efforts is the need to address the trafficker. While
anyone can identify as a trafficker, this workshop is specifically focused on cis,
heteronormative males as perpetrators. Workshop participants will be given an overview
on the importance of working with young men and boys and insights into the struggle

those who become involved in the crime of trafficking may face, including but not limited
to, the mass marketing of hyper-masculinity, socioeconomic inequalities, and
institutionalized oppression. This workshop will allow participants to critically reflect
further on how they assess trafficking cases potentially providing a new means of
intervention to explore. By discussing the trafficker as someone needing services in
addition to victims and buyers, we position ourselves on the national level to make
systemic changes for young men and boys to enhance their well-being while potentially
eliminating the market facilitator, the trafficker, the pimp. We firmly believe that by
helping our young men and boys to build a healthier sense of self we can potentially
save others from exploitation, trafficking and other forms of gender-based violence.

This presentation will cover topics related to the Adam Walsh Act and the U.S. Marshals Service's efforts to work with state, local and other federal agencies to identify, locate and apprehend unregistered or non-compliant sex offenders and investigate violations of 18 USC §2250 .

Family Treatment Courts are a collaborative, therapeutic, dependency court model that began operating in the 1990s and now have grown to include over 500 courts in the United States alone. These courts are designed to bring together teams of child welfare professionals, courts, and advocates, to help families overcome substance use disorders, reunite, and recover together. In Washington State, we have more than 20 courts operating under an FTC model, as well as numerous similar court models (Healing to Wellness, Early Childhood, ICWA). These courts are all working across systems to try to bring heal and hope to families. In 2019 the Center for Child and Family Futures (CFF) and the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP), published the Family Treatment Court Best Practice Standards to establish a repository of the best practices for successful outcomes in FTCs. This talk will give a brief overview of the 8 Best Practice Standards, compare some of the other therapeutic dependency courts types, give some context for how we’ve seen them operate in Washington State. If you are new to therapeutic courts or dependency cases, this presentation should give you insight on the therapeutic court model and direct you to helpful resources, such as our WA FTC website (https://www.wacita.org/ftc-best-practices-101/), where you can learn more.

*If time slots are available, a second session for those more experienced in family treatment courts will also be available
