7. I’ve Got the Data, So Now What? Using Social Norms Data To Create Effective Messages Zach Hiner and Bart Klika, MSW, PhD, Prevent Child Abuse America Social norms are the values, beliefs and attitudes that shape how groups of people act and interact.

21. Impact of Pornography on Children and Youth Cordelia Anderson, MA, Sensibilities Prevention Services, Inc. Advancements in technology dramatically changed access to pornography by younger users. Even the pornography industry describes content as more violent or “hardcore.” Pornography has become an increasingly common source of sex education and influencer of cultural norms.

What Happens When Abuse Claims Come Undone: Recanting after a Disclosure of Child Sexual Abuse KLEC Track Tanisha Knighton, PhD, Knighton Consulting Group, LLC

Pending Approval

Sexual assault cases are complex by nature and even more so when the victim is a child. A victim’s disclosure about sexual abuse is often used as evidence in prosecutions. When the content of this disclosure changes or is withdrawn, it can impact the litigation landscape in the case. While recanting occurs in all types of cases, common influences include internal, external, societal, and socio-cultural factors. This workshop will help participants understand the nature of recanting, how to navigate recanting witnesses, and advantages and/or disadvantages that exist to witness recantations. For individuals appearing in court, this information may be particularly helpful.

28. Promoting Sexual Health in a Pornified / Hypersexualized Culture Cordelia Anderson, MA, Sensibilities Prevention Services, Inc. The hyper-sexualized culture, informed by the pornography industry, has become so normalized it is challenging to see the “normal-lies” perpetuated. At a time when quality information on sex and sexuality is desperately needed, such information is often blocked, or censored, while the hyper-sexualized and pornified mass media messages are inescapable in our lives and in the broader culture. This workshop helps participants “see” and discuss the normalization of sexual harm and use it as a springboard to counter the harm to promote sexual health. 29. Blindsided: 7 Sneaky Challenges Facing Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse Kevin Mulcahy, JD, Executive Assistant US Attorney, United States Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Michigan KLEC Track Workshop Sponsored By:

Pending Approval

Most professionals understand common challenges survivors face, such as fear, shame, guilt, depression, and lack of trust. Many survivors also have other challenging questions such as, “How will I tell my spouse?” or “Did my silence assist my abuser in abusing other victims?” It is important for those working with survivors to understand these questions. Through discussion of the “seven sneaky challenges”, this workshop will address the questions survivors face, but are less likely to ask. By providing a better understanding of these challenges, those (prosecutors, law enforcement, victim advocates, etc.) working with child sexual abuse victims can improve their capacity to support survivors of sexual abuse.

30. Understanding the Military Culture: A Key to Effective Engagement Anthony Dotson, University of Kentucky Veterans Resource Center, Director Workshop Sponsored By: The five branches of the military carry a proud history of service, and as with any large institution, the military has its own distinct culture. This culture includes values, beliefs, goals and practices which impact its members and their families. There are also a range of public myths and misconceptions surrounding the military culture. Understanding the culture is a key component of working with active duty military and veterans. From his experience as Lieutenant Colonel of Military Intelligence in the U.S. Army (retired), and current Director of the UK Veterans Resource Center, Mr. Dotson will provide strategies for effectively engaging military families. 31. Helping Children with Life After Loss Laura Best, MSW, LCSW, Lexington Counseling and Psychiatry All children experience grief and loss, but it is even more prevalent in situations where the family is dealing with issues of parental incarceration, parental substance abuse, or family disruption due to child maltreatment. Relying on her extensive knowledge and practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and foster care parent, the presenter will guide participants as they increase their understanding and skill level related to the unique nature of loss and grief. Ms. Best will also discuss tools which provide a foundation for recognizing and supporting children in their personal journey through grief.

32. A Kentucky Response to Addressing Racial Disproportionality and Disparity: An Agency Model Rachel Bingham, Administrative Office of the Courts, Department of Family and Juvenile Services; Edward L. Palmer, Administrative Office of the Courts, Subcommittee on Equity and Justice for All Youth As with many other systems, juvenile justice outcomes are impacted by Disproportional Minority Contact (DMC). By addressing DMC through systemic reform efforts, outcomes for all children within the system can be improved. Beyond improved outcomes, these reform efforts produce a more confident and culturally competent staff and increased service array for minority communities. Data from state and national sources supporting the need for DMC reform efforts will be reviewed. Strategies to engage local communities in addressing barriers contributing to DMC, including factors such as a general lack of resources in certain neighborhoods, education and training to the community on implicit bias and disproportionality, addressing transportation issues, utilization of the Equity Assessment and acknowledging cultural differences regarding an approach to services. During this session, outcome data measuring the impact of the juvenile justice reforms will be reviewed, as well as unintended consequences of the juvenile justice reform. 33. Attitudes Toward Corporal Punishment: Does Race, Culture, and Religion Matter?

16

LGBTQ+ youth experience trauma at higher rates than their same age non-LGBTQ+ peers. These traumas include a variety of both structural and interpersonal traumas which can include bullying, intimate partner violence, physical/sexual abuse, as well as societal stigma, bias and rejection. Professionals often fail to recognize and meet the needs of traumatized LGBTQ+ youth which can result in poor engagement, ineffective treatment and in some cases, the perpetuation of the youth’s traumatic experiences. To ensure LGBTQ+ youth receive the care they deserve, professionals will learn tools to create safe spaces and familiarize themselves with the issues facing traumatized LGBTQ youth.

Pending Approval

Sexually abusive behavior by adolescent youth can result in serious harm or devastating consequences for the youth, their victims(s), the families affected, and society as whole. Professionals working with youth who perpetrate sexual crimes against other youth face a multitude of challenges ranging from dealing with social stigma, understanding trauma, to knowing best practices for working with this population. Understanding these challenges is critical to any involved discipline such as the court system, mental health, child advocates, and child protective services. Participants in this workshop will assess sexual behavior, risk, needs, intervention responsivity, and understand the dynamics and issues involved in working with this population and their victims. 37. Connect the Dots: Emphasizing Positive Discipline Brooke Gill, MPA, CDA, Social and Emotional Consultant, Department for Public Health, Division of Child and Maternal Health

Workshop Sponsored By: Connect the Dots summarizes social and emotional best practices into four easy-to-remember steps. This workshop will focus on Dot 3- Emphasize Positive Discipline. Participants will learn and apply seven concrete positive discipline strategies that reduce challenging behaviors of young children while promoting social and emotional well-being. 38. The Effects of Fathers' Incaceration on Family Functioning Armon R. Perry, Ph.D., MSW, Associate Professor, Kent School of Social Work Research indicates father disengagement is associated with negative outcomes for families. Kentucky has the highest rate of parental incarceration in the nation, meaning countless fathers are separated from their families and children. Given that historically Kentucky has struggled with substance abuse epidemics and other contributing factors, the impact of paternal incarceration has direct and significant implications for many families across the Commonwealth. This workshop will review best practices for supporting families and children impacted by incarceration, as well as review academic literature related to the effects of fathers’ incarceration on family functioning. We often see the consequences of absent fathers in the cycle of abuse as it is manifested within the court and judicial system with generational criminality.
