Opioids, Marijuana, and Child Protection: Legal Considerations of Recent Developments - February 2018
This webinar was originally recorded on Wednesday, February 28, 2018 from 10:00-11:03am PT. The webinar is 1 hour and 3 minutes long. Please click here to download a pdf version of the PowerPoint slides from this webinar. Please click here to start viewing and listening to the webinar.
Over the past several years, there has been a substantial increase in the use of opioids, both prescription and illicit. More prescriptions for opioids have been directly linked to more overdoses and children born with neonatal abstinence syndrome. At the same time, a number of states have legalized marijuana for medical and/or recreational use. Both of these developments present unique challenges to the protection of children from maltreatment. This webinar will explore the legal issues presented by both the increased use of opioid pain relievers, heroin, and other illicit opioids and the legalization of marijuana. The presenter will review the basic legal framework for the child protection system including examining statutes legalizing marijuana and summarizing appellate case law addressing when use of these legal substances may constitute child maltreatment, including exposure in utero. He will also offer concrete suggestions for addressing the problems presented by the use of these substances that may impair parental functioning.
Understand the legal framework (both constitutional and statutory) for child protection.
Identify the legal issues involved in the use of opioids (prescription and illicit) and marijuana (legal or illegal).
Understand the various responses to the unique challenges presented by the use and abuse of opioids and marijuana during pregnancy.
Understand both the federal funding framework and the array of state responses to the use and abuse of these substances.

Many children served in mental health agencies experience traumatic events. Some of these experiences happen only once while others may re-occur throughout the child’s life, but not all children respond to traumatizing experiences in the same way. Conducting a trauma-informed mental health assessment is a crucial step for offering services to help strengthen children, youth, and families impacted by trauma. This webinar will offer a brief overview of The Trauma-Informed Mental Health Assessment Process (TI-MHAP) Resource Guide, which offers guidelines on how to incorporate a trauma-informed approach to assessment and treatment planning. The TI-MHAP Resource Guide was developed through the California Screening, Assessment, and Treatment (CASAT) project at the Chadwick Center for Children and Families with funding from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and has been implemented in 2 of California’s county-based children’s mental health systems.
Understand the benefits of a trauma informed mental health assessment process
Establish familiarity with the core components of trauma-informed mental health assessment
Explore at least two ways they can integrate components of this process into their current assessment protocol

California’s continuum of care reform (CCR) is a comprehensive effort to improve and expand placement and treatment options for children and youth in the foster care system. As CCR implementation efforts move forward, county systems and agencies need to be aware of currently available empirically-supported practices that can effectively serve children, youth, and families. The California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse (CEBC www.cebc4cw.org) provides children and youth serving agencies with detailed information on a diverse range of programs, including many programs that can be utilized to support CCR core services. This 60-minute webinar provides system leaders and decision-makers with practical information for identifying new CCR core service programs and strategies/resources for effectively implementing these programs.
Effectively utilize the CEBC website to identify and access information on relevant programs for addressing CCR core services, including trauma-informed care, home-based family care, outpatient and residential therapeutic programs, and child & family teaming approaches.
Access additional tools and resources for implementing evidence-based practices that address CCR core services.
Identify best practices and strategies for cross-system collaboration between child welfare and behavioral health systems.

Parenting Programs for Children Birth-8: What is the Evidence and What Seem to be the Common Components? - December 2012
The webinar was originally recorded on Thursday, December 13th, from 9:30 to 11:00 am (PST). It is 85 minutes long. Please click here to download a pdf version of the PowerPoint slides from this webinar. Please click here to start viewing and listening to the webinar.
In this presentation, Dr. Rick Barth, Dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Maryland, and Kyla Liggett-Creel, a Clinical Instructor at the School of Social Work at the University of Maryland, review evidence-based parent training programs and provide evidence that manualized parenting interventions tend to have common elements. In the United States, more than 800,000 child welfare involved families may receive parent education each year. Parent education programs are commonly implemented but not commonly evaluated. Relatively few are evidence-based. This is especially true for parenting programs targeting families with young children. This presentation will describe some of those elements as well as common tools used to teach families. Considerations that may help child welfare agencies make decisions about whether to endeavor to institute manualized parent education programs or to try to use the common elements as a framework for intervention will be discussed. This workshop addresses these shortcomings.
The learning objectives of the webinar are that the participants will be able to:
Identify and describe current evidence based parent education models being used in child welfare.
Identify common elements used in parent training for families with children under the age of 8 (with recognition of some differences for parents of children 0-2 and 4-8).
Describe the evidence behind the identified parent education models.
Describe the difference between manualized parent education programs and common elements-based approaches and consider next steps in developing effective parent education programs in their agencies.
Dr. Barth has also served as a chaired professor at UC Berkeley and University of North Carolina. He has authored many books, chapters, and articles on children’s services practice, programs, policy and research. Most recently his writing has focused on parent training and its intersection with child welfare and understanding the common elements of practice. He has served as a lecturer and consultant to numerous countries, states, and universities. He has testified before Congressional and state government sub-committees about processes and outcomes of child welfare services. Dr. Barth is also a member of the CEBC Scientific Panel. Ms. Liggett-Creel has served as a Senior Clinical Social Worker at the Center for Infant Studies for three years. She was previously a Supervising Clinical Social worker at Kennedy Krieger Institute for nine years (1999-2008) and coordinated a clinic for children between the ages of birth to five who had experienced trauma. Currently, Ms. Liggett-Creel is working with the Keep project offering behavior management education to foster parents in the State of Maryland. Her doctoral work focuses on early childhood development, trauma and child welfare.

In this presentation, Dr. Stan Huey, Jr., Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Southern California, reviews what the research field knows, and what it does not know, about evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for ethnic minority youth. Specifically, he addresses:
The limitations of the current literature, clinical implications, and future directions
Dr. Huey is also the principal investigator for a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)-funded clinical trial for juvenile gang offenders. Dr. Huey’s research centers on evidence-based treatments for ethnic minorities, and how ethnicity and culture influence psychotherapy outcomes. His recent work has focused on effective treatments for youth with serious behavioral and emotional problems, culturally responsive treatments for ethnic minorities, and treatment mechanisms that account for clinical change. Dr. Huey is also a member of the CEBC Scientific Panel.
