Participants will explore the hierarchy of the brain and Dr. Bruce Perry’s 3 Rs to better understand why certain individuals or environments may be more prone to escalation. The session will also examine the full cycle of escalation alongside the Window of Tolerance framework. Through interactive case scenarios and group problem-solving\, participants will practice applying strength-based strategies to support regulation and de-escalation. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with active social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

It affects entire family systems and impacts relationships\, communication\, and overall well-being. In this training\, participants will focus on understanding and supporting families impacted by substance misuse through a Harm Reduction framework. Together\, participants will build language\, tools\, and resources to better understand stigma and bias and how these dynamics can affect families both internally and interpersonally. The session will also explore the role service providers play in supporting\, empowering\, and uplifting families affected by substance misuse. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with active social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

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.

This two-hour foundational training gives participants a shared understanding of how grant funding works\, built around hands-on\, interactive activities. Participants will learn to distinguish between public and private funding sources and apply a simple test for deciding whether a funding opportunity is worth pursuing. The session closes with participants identifying at least one practical next step to apply to a funding opportunity in the year ahead\, along with the foundation needed for deeper sessions on related topics. \n Two continuing education units (CEUs) will be available for participants with active social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

Participants will examine how a clear vision\, grounded in shared values\, can guide decisions\, strengthen organizational culture\, and motivate teams through both challenges and change. \nOne and a half continuing education units (CEUs) will be available for participants with active social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

Through discussion and reflection\, participants will generate relevant examples that illustrate how individual identities are shaped by cultural contexts and influenced by power dynamics\, while considering the impact of these interactions within their own personal\, professional\, and community settings. By developing a deeper understanding of identity\, culture\, and power as an interconnected ecosystem\, participants will explore how understanding these concepts can remove barriers to connection and mutual care. \nTwo continuing education units (CEUs) will be available for participants with active social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).

We will explore compounding factors\, including moral injury\, stress\, compassion fatigue\, and burnout\, as they relate to social services. Through group discussion and reflection\, participants will deepen their understanding of self-care\, reconnect with their sense of purpose\, and develop practical strategies for fostering resilience. \nTwo Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for participants with active social work and professional counseling licenses (LSW\, LCSW\, LPC\, LCPC).
