In today's complex professional landscape, being a mandated reporter of suspected child abuse and maltreatment is more than a legal obligation - it's a profound responsibility that can change lives. With the recent New York State law updates requiring enhanced training by April 1, 2025, now is the time to deepen your understanding and refine your skills.
Join us for an immersive course led by Kathryn Krase, Ph.D., JD, MSW, a nationally recognized expert on the professional reporting of suspected child maltreatment. As the Principal Consultant with Krase Consultant and founder of Making the Tough Call, Dr. Krase brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to this crucial subject. She has authored multiple books and articles on mandated reporting and has years of experience consulting with government and community-based organizations to develop effective policy and practice standards.
In this course, you'll go beyond the basics:
- Reduce Implicit Bias: Uncover protocols to minimize unconscious biases in your decision-making processes, ensuring fair and equitable treatment for every child.
- Identify Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs): Learn strategies to recognize and address hidden traumas that can affect a child's well-being and future development.
- Master Virtual Interaction Guidelines: In an increasingly digital world, gain the tools to spot signs of abuse or maltreatment even when engaging with clients virtually.
Through real-world case studies, interactive discussions, and practical frameworks - enhanced by Dr. Krase's extensive expertise - you'll explore how to balance your legal duties with your professional and ethical responsibilities. This course provides a profession-based context to help you confidently make those tough calls to child protective services when necessary.
