SUMMARY:Child Welfare Coalition Call
DESCRIPTION:Join ICOY and other member organizations on a call to discuss key changes in the child welfare and youth-led arena. \nThe goal is to create a child welfare system that prepares youth to become successful and self-sufficient. Illinois Collaboration on Youth (ICOY) seeks to focus the attention of Illinois’ elected officials in all branches of government on the systematic challenges facing the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the private agencies that deliver many of the services within their communities. \nWe work continuously with lawmakers and other stakeholders to educate them about the impact of nearly two decades of neglect of this system\, and to advocate for the investments and reforms that are needed to fund and sustain the community-based providers of child welfare services. \nThese calls will take place twice a month and we are asking that all participants register to join.

SUMMARY:ICOY x Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) Know Your Rights Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join ICOY as we welcome Andre Gordillo from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) for a Know Your Rights webinar presentation.

SUMMARY:Trauma Talks: Poverty and Trauma
DESCRIPTION:We know trauma as events\, but did you know it can be a set of circumstances? Poverty is the most common trauma in America\, yet often overlooked as such. In this training we will explore long-term destabilization and dysregulation associated with poverty. Through an intersectional\, historical\, and transgenerational lens we will look at how poverty based trauma can shape our individual\, interpersonal\, and communal systems and experiences. Finally\, participants will learn about the resilience and protective factors communities have built to cope with poverty based trauma at the hands of our systems and society\, historically and presently. \nICOY currently offers Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for participants with active Social Work and Professional Counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC) only. All CEU requests must be made in the evaluation form. \nContent Warning: This training may touch on sensitive topics related to trauma\, including its intersections with culture\, race\, gender\, history\, and social inequities. We will address how trauma can uniquely affect children\, families\, and communities\, particularly within marginalized or historically oppressed groups. Topics may include structural inequities\, disparities in care\, stigma\, and the impact of social adversities. Please be aware that some content may be distressing or triggering for individuals with lived experiences of trauma or related challenges. Please take care of yourself and feel free to step away at any time. For any additional needs or resources please reach out to our team at trauma_initiatives@icoyouth.org \nPlease note\, this event/training is not affiliated with or in partnership with IDHS. Everyone is welcome to attend!  \nAbout the Facilitator: \nMarlee Goodman (she/her) – Marlee Goodman has a strong foundation in direct service\, with experience in grief\, affinity spaces and identity\, community building\, and advocacy. Currently serving as a Training + Trauma Specialist\, and LGBTQ+ Liaison at ICOY\, she leads CARES\, ICOY’s for-hire Trauma-Informed Services\, and facilitates training and capacity-building to support service providers with gaining tools\, skills\, and knowledge about trauma-informed care. As an LGBTQ+ Liaison she ensures that ICOY is meeting the needs of organizations serving queer children\, youth\, families\, and service providers across the state.

SUMMARY:Child Welfare Coalition Call
DESCRIPTION:Join ICOY and other member organizations on a call to discuss key changes in the child welfare and youth-led arena.\nThe goal is to create a child welfare system that prepares youth to become successful and self-sufficient. Illinois Collaboration on Youth (ICOY) seeks to focus the attention of Illinois’ elected officials in all branches of government on the systematic challenges facing the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the private agencies that deliver many of the services within their communities. \nWe work continuously with lawmakers and other stakeholders to educate them about the impact of nearly two decades of neglect of this system\, and to advocate for the investments and reforms that are needed to fund and sustain the community-based providers of child welfare services. \nThese calls will take place twice a month and we are asking that all participants register to join.
