SUSPICION + MANDATED REPORTING =?
An
Experiential Training to Understanding Child Abuse and Mandated Reporting
FORMAT:
Lecture
and Discussion- Participants are encouraged to make the workshop more
relevant to their concerns by asking questions and actively participating
in experiential training.
DESCRIPTION:
The
presentation starts with the basic Child Abuse Reporting Laws and then
activates a conceptual process for mandated reporters such as teachers,
therapists, social workers, and other human services providers to
understand the criteria for distinguishing among Legal, Ethical, and Moral
requirements; and among Legal, Ethical, and Practical/Program
requirements. A series of
simple experiential activities will help participants distinguish among
ineffective discipline, poor discipline, harm, and child abuse- child
abuse that mandates reporting. Definitions
and guidance in recognizing the different categories of child abuse:
physical, sexual, neglect, emotional, and so forth.
Guidance in how to handle problematic discipline techniques of
parents for child abuse prevention. Cross-cultural and multi-cultural
issues in child abuse reporting and discipline issues will also be
addressed. Historical and multi-cultural aspects of corporal punishment
and sexual boundaries and relationship to legal child abuse definitions.

DEVELOPING
WORKSHOP PRESENTATIONS
From
Idea to Conceptualization to Detail to Comprehensive Workshop
FORMAT:
Lecture,
Discussion, & Demonstration- Participants are encouraged to make the
workshop more relevant to their concerns by asking questions.
DESCRIPTION:
Focus
is on helping participants develop their ideas and messages through the
different stages to create a fully comprehensive workshop for
presentation (and profit!). How
to expand upon an initial idea to create a complete structurally sound
thesis. What processes to fill out the workshop concepts and issues.
How to make the workshop interesting and entertaining as
well as informative. Initial
and subsequent presentation issues including goals for the first five
minutes of the presentation. A
presentation idea will be chosen from the participants to be taken
through much of the process to illustrate how it works.
Marketing issues also for those interested in using workshops for
financial profit as well as professional fulfillment.
