SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health & Suicide Prevention
DESCRIPTION:The Trevor Project’s 2025 National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Youth found that LGBTQ+ youth experience disproportionately high rates of mental health challenges\, including depression\, anxiety\, suicidality\, and co-occurring mental health concerns. This session explores the complex and compounding factors that place LGBTQ+ youth at increased risk for negative mental health outcomes. Participants will examine the societal factors\, stigma\, and bias that impact LGBTQ+ youth while learning about the critical protective role service providers play in supporting this population. Together\, participants will review best practices that help youth feel safe\, supported\, affirmed\, and empowered within both their individual and communal identities. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs\, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.

SUMMARY:Intergenerational Trauma and Development
DESCRIPTION:This session provides participants with a foundational understanding of how early trauma and chronic stress can influence development well into adolescence and young adulthood. While children are often viewed as naturally resilient\, true resilience depends heavily on the context and systems surrounding a child’s development. Together\, participants will explore two critical periods in human development that serve as the foundation for lifelong well-being\, as well as the potential impacts when those developmental stages are disrupted or thrown off balance. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs\, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.

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:The Five Doors of Access: An Introduction
DESCRIPTION:This introductory session guides service providers through each of the five dimensions of access: Physical\, Sensory\, Communication\, Emotional\, and Relational. Rather than framing accessibility as a compliance obligation\, the session invites participants to see inclusion as an act of welcome\, asking not whether a space meets a minimum standard but who is being invited in\, and whether they can actually get through the door. Participants explore how disability intersects with neurodiversity\, invisible disability\, and mental health. Activities include a guided self-assessment of participants’ own environments and facilitated peer discussion. \nOne and a half Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs\, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.

SUMMARY:Poverty and Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Trauma is often understood as a specific event\, but it can also exist as an ongoing set of circumstances. Poverty is one of the most common yet frequently overlooked forms of trauma in America. In this training\, participants will explore the long-term destabilization and dysregulation associated with poverty through an intersectional\, historical\, and transgenerational lens. The session will examine how poverty-based trauma shapes individual\, interpersonal\, and community experiences and systems. Participants will also learn about the resilience and protective factors communities have developed to cope with poverty-related trauma across generations. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with active social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC). If you would like to request CEUs\, you may do so in the evaluation survey sent after completing this training.

SUMMARY:Workforce Well-Being: Showing Up Without Burning Out
DESCRIPTION:Youth-serving professionals are asked to support others while navigating increasingly complex environments marked by trauma\, crisis\, limited resources\, and competing demands.

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.
