The Importance of Engaging People with Lived Experience in Planning for Systems Change
2022-06-22 12:30 - 14:00
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 2022: 12:30-2:00 PM
THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGAGING PEOPLE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE IN PLANNING FOR SYSTEMS CHANGE
Presenters
Zoe Livengood, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ)
Mark Funkhouser, National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ)
Nancy Taylor, Certified Addiction Recovery Coach
Dorothy Carlson, Peer Advocate
Ruth Riddick, Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of NYS (ASAP) Community Outreach
Ralph Wolf, Esq., Office for Justice Initiatives
As child welfare professionals, we develop policy/procedures and make decisions about system improvements, all of which affect the children and families we serve. However, these policies and decisions are often made without the input of people who have to navigate the systems we create. This can be especially true for children and families impacted by the current opioid crisis, especially those living in rural areas. This webinar will highlight several strategies to engage and work with people with lived experiences so that their voices are included as we seek to improve outcomes in the child welfare system.

The Role of the Nurse on the FTC Team and/or Child Welfare / SUD County Collaborative and/or Independent of Court Structure
2022-07-13 12:30 - 14:00
WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2022: 12:30-2:00 PM
THE ROLE OF THE NURSE ON THE FTC TEAM AND/OR CHILD
WELFARE / SUD COUNTY COLLABORATIVE AND/OR INDEPENDENT OF COURT STRUCTURE
Presenters
Diane Foley, Attorney for the Child
Alexis Sudilovsky, RN, BSN
Wendy Brown, RN
Mindy Thomas, Coordinator, Tompkins County Family Treatment Court
Renee Hallock, Associate Commissioner, Office of Children and Family Services
The nurse can be a tremendous asset to the Child Welfare / SUD Team. Nurses can help with the development and implementation of the Plan of Safe Care that is done in collaboration with the caregiver and child protective services when a child is born affected by substance abuse.
The nurse can also do assessments outside of court or with those not engaged in services to get them into detox, or inpatient/residential treatment. The nurse can help people get health insurance and referrals to Primary Care Physicians and Specialists. The nurse can sign off on the Taking Care of Me Milestones which is focused on participant’s health, dental and spiritual needs.
This session will focus on the role of the nurse, how the coordinator on the FTC team works with nurses, the benefits of nurses through the lens of the attorney and how nurses can be funded using Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) grants.

featuring
Duncan Kennedy, Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence (Emeritus), Harvard Law School

Friday, September 16, 2022
12 noon – 2:00 p.m. (EDT)
Charles B. Sears Law Library, John Lord O’Brian Hall
University at Buffalo (North Campus)
or via live broadcast
Like other well-intentioned progressives, legal advocates for residents of poor Black neighborhoods face a persistent accusation: that their efforts hurt the very people they mean to help. Disputing this charge, Professor Kennedy will propose a method for evaluating a wide range of legal reform projects.
Immediately following the lecture, Professor Kennedy will discuss his proposal with UB Law’s experts in housing policy (Professor Heather Abraham), political economy (Professor Matthew Dimick), and issues of race, gender, and class (Professor Athena Mutua).
A reception will follow. The entire program is free and open to the public, though registration is required.

Trauma and ICWA: Considerations and Best Practices for Working with Indian Families Affected By Substance Use in Child Welfare Proceedings
2022-09-21 12:30 - 14:00
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2022: 12:30-2:00 PM
TRAUMA AND ICWA: CONSIDERATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES FOR WORKING WITH INDIAN FAMILIES AFFECTED BY SUBSTANCE USE IN CHILD WELFARE PROCEEDINGS
Presenters
Hon Carrie Garrow, Healing to Wellness Court Judge, Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe
Hon Sharon LoVallo, Erie County Family Court
Aimeé L. Neri, LMSW, Statewide Project Manager for ICWA Practices, Child Welfare Court Improvement Project
The Indian Child Welfare Act was enacted in 1978 in response to the significant traumas Indian Families experienced at the hands of the child welfare system. Recently, there has been a renewed focus on the fallout of Indian Boarding Schools in both the U.S. and Canada, and the unspeakable violence they inflicted on children, families and entire tribal communities. The resulting trauma has been epigenetically passed through generations, many times resulting in individuals developing Substance Use Disorder as a coping mechanism. This program will provide an overview of historical trauma and the impact on Indian Families and communities, particularly at the intersection of substance use and child welfare practices. Strategies for using Trauma Informed Practices and maintaining ICWA compliance will be reviewed when working with Indian Families affected by substance use disorder.
