Two identical one-day training sessions designed for county department child welfare supervisors and caseworkers, county attorneys, foster parents, judicial officers and staff, CASAs, GALs, and respondent counsel to explore the practice of concurrent permanency planning in the context of both the law and best practice models.
Following the training, participants will be able to:
- Identify and understand the principals and components of concurrent planning and distinguish it from other types of permanency planning
- Execute a prognostic assessment using the Colorado Concurrent Planning Guide; Feel more confident about which cases should utilize Concurrent Planning;
- Develop treatment and permanency plans with a collaborative, family centered practice approach;

Time: 11am - 12:30pm or 6pm - 7:30pmCome prepared to discuss The Trauma Myth: The Truth About the Sexual Abuse of Children—And Its Aftermath, by Susan A. Clancy (here on Amazon). Based in 10 years of clinical research, Susan A. Clancy’s analysis challenges accepted theories that sexual abuse to children involves fear, force or coercion. Rather, Clancy’s theories assert that child victims are often traumatized further when they fail to associate these feelings with the act itself—feeling, instead, confusion and complex emotions rather than simply recognizing violence or fear of a perpetrator (who, 90% of the time, is someone they know and trust). Statistics show that one in five women and one in 10 men are victims of sexual abuse, at an average victim age of 10 years old. For more information about this book visit: http://traumamyth.com/.
