As the look of child welfare is continually changing, Ms. James-Brown will provide an overview of the current perspectives in public policy and noteworthy trends among states as they respond to federal policies and changes in both federal and state funding. Ms. James-Brown will talk about the trends and shifts in utilization of out-of-home care options for children in child welfare systems and the development and increased use of family based services. Come and learn more about what your agency will need to do to stay competitive and what opportunities and challenges may be in our future. Ms. James-Brown became President and Chief Executive officer of the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) in April 2007, assuming the leadership of the nation's oldest and largest membership-based child welfare organization. Prior to joining CWLA, Ms. James-Brown served as President and CEO of United Way International where she was responsible for the efforts of the organization’s network of United Way non-profit member organizations that serve communities in 45 countries and territories. Prior to her leadership role at United Way International, for ten years she served as President and CEO of United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania (UWSEPA) based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During her decade of leadership at UWSEPA, Ms. James-Brown directed a staff of 130 that managed an annual fundraising effort raising over $50,000,000, and distributed funds to over 2,500 community-based agencies. Throughout her career, Ms. James-Brown has worked tirelessly to help nonprofit health and human service organizations grow and expand their ability to serve children and families through foundation and corporate philanthropy. Humor is often misunderstood. Because humor can be used to lighten a situation, it is sometimes dismissed as unimportant. In truth, humor is a powerful collection of wide-ranging skills that allow us to be more innovative and focused when it comes to dealing with difficult situations. Today’s keynote presentation will address ways to hone humor skills, bring intentional humor into the workplace, and will help attendees understand the physical and psychological aspects of laughter. Mary Armstrong-Smith has been entertaining and educating all kinds of audiences for over twenty-five years. From the first time she stepped on to the stage of her high school’s drama department (playing the President of the United States, no less!), Mary has been connecting with people through the use of her humor and passion for life. Almost twenty years ago, she had another first: Mary cautiously stepped on to the stage at an Indianapolis comedy club and began talking about her life--the small town where she grew up, her struggles to become svelte, her long-suffering spouse, and anything else that came to mind. The audience roared its approval, and in just over a year Mary was a regular at area comedy clubs. Soon after, she began to find ways to use her comedy skills in her job in human services. Colleagues at other agencies began asking her to come and share her tips for being funny in a very unfunny world. Within a year, Mary was presenting her ideas at a host of state and national conferences. Corporate clients and universities began inviting her to talk with their employees about humor in the workplace. She even taught a stand-up comedy class for Indiana University. Mary serves as the Community Partners Director for Prevent Child Abuse Indiana. As a survivor of childhood abuse, she brings a unique perspective to her work with abuse prevention councils throughout Indiana. Tuesday, September 27th 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. A1 USING IARCCA OUTCOMES IN YOUR AGENCY Your agency spends time collecting outcomes on your services, but do you know how to use them? This workshop will explore the many uses of outcome data, including program evaluation and improvement, service development, grant procurement, treatment planning, and, contract and accreditation compliance. Participants will learn how to produce reports and extract data from the EON® web system, ―drill down‖ their data in a spreadsheet, identify strengths and challenges, and compile data required by DCS. Time will also be allotted to address participants’ questions. PRESENTERS: John Link, MS, LMFT, LCAC; Crossroad Institute, Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Jeannie Bellman, MSW, IARCCA An Association of Children & Family Services, Indianapolis, Indiana. A2 RESIDENTIAL LEADERSHIP: WHAT DOES IT REALLY TAKE? Is leadership something one is born with or something that is learned? If it can be learned, what exactly must be taught? Early in 2011, Executive Directors of IARCCA member agencies were asked to participate in a research project in an effort to determine what skills are most important for leaders in our field. This presentation will report the findings of that research, along with the current research trends in the field of organizational leadership, and discuss the possible implications for leader development. and cons of going to court; the law about mental health records being admitted at court (I.C. 16-39-3); and, advocating for children’s rights to confidentiality. PRESENTER: Lois Rifner, PhD; Private Practice, Bedford, Indiana. A5 It’s hard to have empathy when you’ve never seen it, so how do we help children promote this critical attribute? And, why is it so important anyway? This training will explore how empathy develops, threats to its development, why it’s necessary and how to help develop it in children. PRESENTERS: Amy Rosen, LMHC, LCAC; and Rhonda Gipson Willis, MSW, LCSW; The Children’s Campus, Mishawaka, Indiana. A6 PRESENTER: Andrea Smith, JD; Kids Voice of Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana. PRESENTER: Dennis Bumgarner, ACSW, LCSW, Chapel Hill Center for Brief Therapy, Indianapolis, Indiana. A4 Tuesday, September 27th 1:15 - 2:45 p.m. INNOCULATING CHILDREN AGAINST DEPRESSION Over the past fifty years, the rate of depression in the United States has increased ten times. This workshop will look at the dynamics behind this increase and what adults can do in their day-to-day interactions to help vaccinate children against this debilitating disorder. ETHICS AND MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS This workshop will explore the issues around mental health treatment records of residents in child welfare facilities and testimony in court. Participants will learn how to write a treatment agreement that allows for more confidentiality; what to tell child and adolescent clients about the potential limits to their confidentiality; keeping appropriate mental health records; the ―parent’s‖ rights to access; how to respond to a subpoena; consulting with your client about the pros GUIDING CHILDREN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA This workshop will provide information on children’s use of social media and how parents and other caregivers can guide and protect children. The session will inform attendees of the dangers and legal ramifications children may encounter by sending information through social mediums such as text messages and over the internet through Facebook and email. The workshop will also provide information about ―sexting‖ by youth. Participants will receive legal information and practical tips to help them guide children to make positive decisions about using social media. PRESENTER: Jeff Waibel, MSW, MA, ABD; Gateway Woods, Leo, Indiana. A3 WHY SHOULD I CARE AGAIN? B1 INTEGRATIVE SERVICES – THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT: THE WIN-WIN-WIN FOR FAMILIES, PROVIDERS, & THE STATE For more than 150 years, traditional residential treatment practices have been highly utilized and have been the cornerstone of many agencies. The landscape has significantly changed over the last five years—allowing an opportunity for innovation and research-based practice to emerge. Through flexible partnerships with DCS and the inevitable need to change practice to produce better clinical and financial outcomes, Integrated Services started as a pilot project in July 2010 and has emerged as an innovative best practice option for children and families otherwise referred for traditional residential care. Providers will be introduced to the Integrated Services model, to specific clinical and business model best practices, and will emerge with a better understanding of the future opportunities in residential care. State leaders, DCS representatives and Integrated Services Providers will present key practice differences, expectations and ―guaranteed‖ outcomes. PRESENTERS: Jim Dalton, PsyD, HSPP; Damar Services, and Jennifer Hubartt, Marion County DCS; Indianapolis, Indiana. PANEL: Peggy Surbey; Marion County DCS, and Angel Knapp, MSW; Damar Services, Indianapolis, Indiana. B2 BRINGING GROUPS TOGETHER IN THE WORKPLACE Working with groups of people can be complicated and frustrating but is also unavoidable. This workshop is designed to help different departments of the same agency work together in a more effective manner. The objectives for this training will include understanding individual communications styles, incorporating those different styles into the group, and working through conflict. Participants in this training will be expected to actively participate in group tasks. PRESENTERS: Robyn Eubank, PsyD, HSPP and Leslie Miller, MA; Youth Opportunity Center, Muncie, Indiana. B3 STAGES OF CHANGE: METAPHOR AND MINDFULNESS FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Mothers of children in DCS care have often experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), otherwise known as domestic violence (DV). Due to their own attachment and coping deficits, they select unhealthy partners and expose their children to repeated trauma. This workshop reviews treatment techniques to use with this population to address relational violence and reduce symptoms of trauma (metaphor, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and selfpersuasion) using Prochaska & DiClemente’s Transtheoretical Stages of Change Model PRESENTERS: Pat Pernicano, PsyD, HSPP; Providence Self Sufficiency Ministries, Inc., Georgetown, Indiana. B4 TWO PEAS IN A POD: ATTACHMENT AND KIDS IN CHILD WELFARE How are attachment and child welfare related? It might just be the missing puzzle piece that you have been looking for. Come learn about the attachment needs cycle as well as the various types of secure and insecure attachment cycles. Typical child development and a child’s development with a neglectful parent will be examined as we search for answers on how to work effectively with children with attachment difficulties. PRESENTER: Kate Creason, MSW; Children’s Bureau, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana. B5 KINSHIP CARE This workshop will discuss the laws related to kinship care in Indiana. Participants will learn who kinship care providers should contact when they start caring for a child and possible support options. The workshop will discuss formal and informal kinship care, with an emphasis on the CHINS process and formal kinship care. The workshop will also discuss legal options for permanency that kinship care providers may pursue, such as guardianship, third party custody, and adoption. PRESENTER: Derelle Watson-Duvall, JD; Kids Voice of Indiana & the Children’s Law Center of Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana. B6 WHEN KIDS PUSH OUR BUTTONS: SELF-AWARENESS FOR YOUTH WORKERS & FOSTER PARENTS What happens to you emotionally in the process of working with kids is the critical factor in determining your effectiveness. Seldom are we unaffected by the behavior or stories of our kids. Our professional development depends on our willingness to examine our conscious and unconscious motivations that are helping or hindering our professional growth and that of our kids. Helping these children begins with understanding ourselves, especially our own emotional processes that occur in the midst of conflict. This workshop will introduce the concept of self-awareness and teach youth workers how to get in touch with their motivations so that they may work more affectively with kids. PRESENTER: Dennis Bumgarner, ACSW, LCSW; Chapel Hill Center for Brief Therapy, Indianapolis, Indiana. Tuesday, September 27th 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. C1 INTEGRATIVE SERVICES–THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF RESIDENTIAL TREAT—MENT: THE WIN-WIN-WIN FOR FAMILIES, PROVIDERS, AND THE STATE. Continuation of Session B1 C2 BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT WITH THE CONDUCT-DISTORDERED AND OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT CHILD: AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH. The use of externally-applied consequences (punishments and rewards) in attempting to change the behavior of the CD and ODD child usually frustrates the youth worker and produces little change in the behavior of the child. This workshop will explain the unique nature of the kids with these disorders, why usual and customary approaches tend not to work, and what youth workers can do alternatively in order to encourage acceptable behavior and discourage the negative. PRESENTER: Dennis Bumgarner, ACSW, LCSW; Chapel Hill Center for Brief Therapy, Indianapolis, Indiana. C3 BATH SALTS—CLEAN NAME…..DIRTY SECRETS C5 A COACHING MODEL FOR FAMILY EMPOWERMENT This presentation is designed to share the existing research and statistics on ―bath salts,‖ a powerful stimulant of methedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV). Recently, there have been scattered reports across the country of drug-induced deaths and accidental overdoses on these products that are sold legally in most states. This session will help direct care staff and clinicians to identify warning signs of ―bath salt‖ users that may present in our facilities and be misinterpreted as symptoms of mental illness. Bridges to tomorrow, a Metro United Way project, is a communitybased early childhood intervention with the goal of preparing at-risk children for kindergarten. This program provides coaching to parents as well as several other services. This workshop will explore several models of coaching while focusing specifically on the Bridges Family Center Coaching Model, which empowers families to succeed. Aspects of coaching that make it effective in these communities will be discussed and demonstrated. PRESENTER: Katrina Norris, LCSW, LAC; Whitewater Valley Care Pavilion, Connersville, Indiana. PRESENTERS: Melissa Gibson, BA; Ruth O’Brien, BS; and Lara Jones, BA; Spalding University, Louisville, Kentucky. C4 C6 ADULT ATTACHMENT: HOW DOES OUR OWN HISTORY AFFECT HOW WE PARENT AND ATTACH TO OUR CHILDREN? The biggest indicator of whether a child will successfully attach to a parent is whether the parent can attach to the child. True attachments are reciprocal. Come explore this topic and learn how as adults, we can learn to heal ourselves to better parents and professionals with children that struggle with attachment. PRESENTER: Kate Creason, MSW; Children’s Bureau, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana. THE CYCLE OF ABUSIVE/DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR In addition to providing an easy to understand outline on how negative/acting-out behaviors tend to escalate and ―snowball‖ out of control, this workshop will teach residential staff and clinicians the essential elements of the relationship between thinking, feeling, and doing; and equip staff with the necessary skills and practical interventions to help children and adolescents learn how to manage emotions and stop the cycle of negative behavior. PRESENTER: Brian Davis, MDiv, LMFT; Childplace Inc., Jeffersonville, Indiana. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th 10:00-11:30 a.m. D1 PROVIDING COMMUNITY CHOICES TO INDIANA’S CHILDREN AND FAMILIES Choices, Inc., a non profit care management organization from Indianapolis, will describe it’s philosophical and operational approach to serving children, youth and families from the children’s human service systems. Recently Indiana’s DCS asked Choices to pilot a program in northern Indiana that aggressively worked to move children from residential care to lower levels of community care. The outcomes will be shared and discussed. Additionally Choices will share the size and scope of the Provider Network that has been created in Central Indiana and is now growing statewide. PRESENTER: Knute Rotto, ACSW; Choices Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana. D2 WAITING FOR OUTCOMES IS TOO LATE In this workshop, participants will learn the importance of fidelity and examples of fidelity measures. The focus is the fidelity of a therapist to a therapy model and ―growing‖ fidelity. A review of research is followed by identification of common problems in service delivery that fidelity can address. The presenter then identifies necessary program elements to grow fidelity and provides an example of a conceptual scheme to organize measurement. In the final section, participants review examples of how fidelity measures translate into program changes. PRESENTER: Hugh Hanlin, PhD, HSPP, CSAYC; Resolute Treatment Facility and Resource Community Services, Indianapolis, Indiana. D3 DBT BASICS This workshop will review components of Dialectical Behavior Therapy including: mindfulness—looking at what adolescents pay attention to and get more control over where their awareness goes; emotional regulation—helping regulate painful affective states; distress tolerance—developing strategies to survive painful emotions or situations without succumbing to them; interpersonal effectiveness— developing strategies for asking what one wants or needs, saying no, coping with conflict and maintaining relationships and maintaining self -respect; walking the middle path—properly addressing conflicts and dilemmas often found in parent-adolescent relationships. PRESENTER: Barbara Carrasco, MSW, LCSW; The Children’s Campus, Mishawaka, Indiana. D4 ETHICAL DECISION MAKING IN SOCIAL WORK – PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF A MODEL This workshop will begin by exploring modern challenges to ethical decision making in the social work profession. The background and rationale for ethical decision making will be reviewed, with a special focus on the basic principles and philosophical models that tend to guide social work practice and on what constitutes an ethical dilemma. A specific model for ethical decision making will be introduced, and workshop participants will be guided through a discussion on the application of the model to various cases. PRESENTER: Robert Weiler, MSW, LCSW, LCAC; Indiana University School of Social Work and Harford Partnership Program for Aging Education, Indianapolis, Indiana D5 MAKING LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS: THE POWER OF POSITIVE PERCEPTION Shifting perceptions to include a positive, comprehensive understanding of difficult residents can improve mood and job satisfaction, build staff-resident relationships, increase the use of positive interventions, and reduce the use of punishment. Participants will discover the value of strength-based approaches while actively developing the skills necessary for viewing residents from a positive, strength-based perspective. A variety of activities will be utilized to assist in building the ability to perceive residents positively and demonstrate the power of positive perception. PRESENTERS: Meghan Colley, MA and Lee Anne McLendon, BA; Youth Opportunity Center, Muncie, Indiana. D6 MENTOR LEADERSHIP Inspired by former Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy and based on his book, The Mentor Leader, this workshop will bring together key points that focus on those who directly work with adolescents.

E2 WELLNESS: WHAT’S IN IT FOR OUR AGENCY Wellness has been the ―buzz word‖ for the last several years among many employers and the revenues of the ―wellness industry‖ have moved into the billions of dollars. Yet, through it all our health continues to deteriorate as the costs of care skyrocket. People are unhappier, crushed by stress, less productive and with a lower quality of life than seen in recorded history. The family, government and religious institutions have failed to make a positive impact leaving us with little more than a big question mark! Can businesses influence this desperate picture?

This training will use media to educate participants. PRESENTER: Robyn Eubank, PsyD, HSPP; Youth Opportunity Center, Muncie, Indiana. F6 OWNING YOUR STORY: INDIANA YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD TALKS STRATEGIC SHARING This interactive workshop brought to you by the young people of the Indiana Youth Advisory Board will help you understand strategic sharing from two viewpoints: a young person and a foster care/direct care worker. When a child enters care, it is not uncommon to introduce them to a number of complete strangers that are assigned to their case, and this child is expected to blindly trust each of them with what could be some of the most painful details of their life. This workshop opportunity offers attendees some strategies to assist them in rapport-building with young people, as well as how to encourage strategic sharing from the youth they work with so that they can feel empowered to ―own their story.‖ PRESENTERS: Indiana Youth Advisory Board; Indianapolis, Indiana.
