About

This is a LIVE Online Instructor Led Course. Pre-registration is required. You will receive virtual classroom instructions in your confirmation email and in communications leading up to training. Training Schedule Jan 26 | 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (CST) Jan 27 | 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (CST) Jan 28 | 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (CST) Jan 29 | 10:00 am - 2:00 pm (CST) The latest research has successfully concluded that young people who run away from home are often victims of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. They have also suffered trauma as a bystander to domestic violence, substance abuse in the home, the death of a loved one from an overdose or violent act, or when a parent or guardian is arrested. Also, many children of these children abuse substances and are at high risk of human trafficking. Community stakeholders such as police officers, educators, mental health professionals, and child protective service providers must work together to identify these young people and develop effective community wide plans in providing protective factors. During this training, you will learn how to develop an action plan and implement various proven tools to provide protective factors to this critically at-risk population.
