DESCRIPTION:Imagine a grant officer sitting in front of the stack of proposals she received today. How do you ensure that she forwards your proposal on for review?

SUMMARY:Scale Up Your SEL: Define It
DESCRIPTION:Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is an integral part of youth development\, but what does “SEL” truly mean within the unique context of your program? In this workshop\, “Scale Up Your SEL: Define It\,” we will move through the core components of social emotional learning and collaboratively develop a clear\, shared understanding tailored to your specific site’s needs and goals. Using established frameworks\, such as the widely recognized CASEL 5 competencies participants will reflect on their current program’s unique environment\, population\, and existing practices to identify how SEL is already present and where there are opportunities for growth. This session is designed for all youth development providers\, from frontline staff to program leaders. Come ready to share insights\, engage in collaborative problem-solving\, and lay the groundwork for a robust\, site-specific SEL framework that empowers both your staff and the youth you serve. \nLearning Objectives:\n* Articulate the five core competencies of social emotional learning using a common framework.\n* Identify specific examples of SEL skills as they currently appear in their daily program activities.\n* Develop a preliminary action plan for establishing a common language and understanding of SEL among all site staff and stakeholders. \nTrainer: Naomi Oster

SUMMARY:Developmental Trauma and Maternal Stress
DESCRIPTION:This session offers attendees a foundational understanding of how trauma and stress can impact us even before birth. While it’s often assumed that children are naturally resilient to stress and trauma\, true resilience is dependent on the context and wider systems in which a child develops. Together\, we’ll explore key concepts such as maternal buffering\, epigenetics\, serve and return\, and neuroplasticity\, examining how these factors can either support or hinder the development of resilience intergenerationally.\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Marlee Goodman

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.
