Additionally, indicators of child abuse by torture will be addressed to enhance law enforcement and Child Protective Services ability to recognize and intervene on these cases in the field. 9:10am - 10:10am Child Sexual Abuse: Understanding What Your Medical Team Does and Why Arne H. Graff, M.D., Medical Director, Mayo Clinic Child and Family Advocacy Program This session is an overview of the medical evaluation for the child/teen who is a possible sexual abuse victim. Understanding what your medical team does, why they do it and what determinations can be made can be important in investigation and prosecution as well as medical and behavioral health needs of the child. 10:10am - 10:20am Break 10:20am - 11:20am The Price of Serving Children Kurt Mahnke, MA, MDiv, LFMT, LPC, Founder/Director, Family Therapy and Anxiety Center Helping children who can’t help themselves is such an honorable profession! Giving immediate physical and psychological assistance is absolutely crucial. Protecting children from people who would take advantage of them for their own egotistic, sadistic and sexual gratification is absolutely essential. Helping children from their own ignorance and misguided behavior is also imperative. But as needed and honorable as that is, helping children has a price. Caring for children is a two edge sword. It is very easy to lose oneself in one’s work at the price of unaware and untreated sympathy/empathy pain and agony, sometimes called, “Secondary Trauma” or “Compassion Fatigue.” This presentation will address the phenomenon of “Secondary Trauma” or “Compassion Fatigue.” It will present the cause and the course of the predicament as well as touch on some possible self-initiated interventions. 11:20am - 12:20pm Seeing Through the Lens of a Child: What Caring Professionals Need to Know about the Traumatized Child Kimberly Erickson-Nichols, LPC, CAPSW, Founder of Heart to Heart Healing This session will help participants understand what research tells us about stress and trauma and the impact on child and brain development. It will also help participants to understand the internal experiences and emotional dysregulation of children who have experienced childhood stress and trauma. 12:20pm - 1:00pm Lunch 1:00pm - 2:20 pm Breakout Session #1 Understanding and Responding to Children’s Behavior: What Supportive Families, Caretakers and Professionals Can Do Kimberly Erickson-Nichols, LPC, CAPSW, Founder of Heart to Heart Healing Note: This is a two-part presentation. Participants must attend both sessions. In this first session, participants will learn about common behavior and symptoms of stress and traumatized children. Participants will also learn about the internal feelings experienced by the child and the message being communicated by a child’s behavior. The ChildFirst™ Interview Protocol: Using Best Practice and Research for a Holistic Interview Amy Russell, MSEd, JD, NCC, Executive Director, Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center Note: This is a two-part presentation. Participants must attend both sessions. This workshop examines the new ChildFirst™ Forensic Interview Protocol currently replicated in 20 states and two countries. In the ChildFirst model, the cognitive, physical, emotional and psychological needs of the child are the primary concern. ChildFirst™ is a model that utilizes best practice and research to employ purposes, considerations and techniques for training those investigating allegations of child maltreatment. The purposes of interview stages are discussed and the use of media, props and tools are explored. Participants will also be exposed to issues regarding training, supervision and peer review of interviews. 2015 La Crosse Child Maltreatment Conference • PAGE 3 Conference Agenda (continued) Reactive and Proactive Interventions for Secondary Trauma, Burnout, and Traumatic Stress Kurt Mahnke, MA, MDiv, LFMT, LPC, Founder/Director, Family Therapy and Anxiety Center Note: This is a two-part presentation. Participants must attend both sessions. “Secondary Trauma” or “Compassion Fatigue” is a real possible problem for emergency medical services, law enforcement and child protective services staff who deal with children in trouble. This session will present in some detail, interventions already used by the helping profession. These suggestions include: how to set up and utilize a “Peer Support Team” within one or multiple agencies; how to set up and utilize a Critical Incident Stress Management Team within multiple agencies and disciplines and how to formulate a list of mental health providers that would be suitable to work with care givers who work with wounded children. Bruises and Burns: How and When Do We Need to Work Them Up for Abuse? Arne H. Graff, M.D., Medical Director, Mayo Clinic Child and Family Advocacy Program Physical injuries may be the earliest warning of abuse and precede more serious injuries. Sorting out accidental, medical and non-accidental is a difficult task and requires MDT staff to team with their medical staff to determine timely and appropriate testing and care. 2:20pm - 2:40pm Ice Cream Sundae Break 2:40pm - 4:00pm Breakout Session #2 Understanding and Responding to Children’s Behavior: What Supportive Families, Caretakers and Professionals Can Do Kimberly Erickson-Nichols, LPC, CAPSW, Founder of Heart to Heart Healing Note: This is a two-part presentation. Participants must have attended Part 1. In this second session, participants will learn hands on tools for responding to behaviors and to calm aroused children. Participants will also learn how to stay focused on emotional safety and emotional regulation for children and learn how to apply these tools to a variety of environments that the child is in. The ChildFirst™ Interview Protocol – Using Best Practice and Research for a Holistic Interview Amy Russell, MSEd, JD, NCC, Executive Director, Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center Note: This is a two-part presentation. Participants must have attended Part 1. This workshop examines the new ChildFirst™ Forensic Interview Protocol currently replicated in 20 states and two countries.

Exploring Demand: What Can We Do? Sarah Collins, MSW, Child Advocacy Studies Instructor at Winona State University and Ann Lichliter, LICSW, Human Services Associate Program Chair at Western Technical College This presentation will explore the cultural influences that contribute to the demand of sex trafficking. Specifically, the cultural influences and grooming behaviors that promote the objectification of women and children will be highlighted as well as the glorification of pimp culture. Lastly, we will highlight common 2015 La Crosse Child Maltreatment Conference • PAGE 4 Conference Agenda (continued) responses to addressing demand and we will conduct a discussion on what we can do locally. 4:00pm Closing Please join us for a free community presentation. 6:00pm to 7:30pm Secondary Trauma: How It Affects Your Loved One Kurt Mahnke MA, MDiv, LFMT, LPC, Founder/Director, Family Therapy and Anxiety Center Radisson Ballroom No registration required. Professionals who work with victims of trauma, including children, (such as law enforcement, county human services, medical examiner/coroners, firefighters, EMS, funeral home, faith community, medical and behavioral health, school and child care professionals, faith community) are often so concentrated on their goal to protect victims they often forget about themselves. They shrug off questions of concern about their mental/emotional state by stating they are “fine.” However, they aren’t able to fool their family members; spouses, children or significant others. What is the family member to do? How can they help? This presentation will attempt to answer those questions with suggestions and possible options. The first part will help loved ones understand what the professionals are doing and how it might affect them. The second part will be an open question/answer format to discuss specific situations and possible scenarios. Friday, May 8th 8:00am Welcome Arne Graff, M.D., Medical Director, Mayo Clinic Child and Family Advocacy Program 8:05am - 9:00am In My Neighbor’s House: A Multi-Disciplinary Success Story Victor Vieth, JD, Founder and Senior Director, Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center This session chronicles the efforts of a rural county in Minnesota that implemented a series of reforms to improve its child protection system. Within three years, the county not only dramatically improved its ability to respond to child abuse but was gaining national attention for its success. The lessons from this county are applicable to all communities large or small. Attendees will leave the session with a number of new ideas and with the hope that all things are possible. 9:00am - 10:00am The Effects of Trauma on Children and Adolescents Jennifer Wilgocki, MS, LCSW, Midwest Center for Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy The impact of childhood trauma and traumatic stress can be long-term and serious, resulting in a myriad of emotional, social and behavioral problems. This session will guide us to change the question from “what’s wrong with you?” to “what’s happened to you?” as we become trauma sensitive and trauma skilled. 10:00am - 10:10am Break 10:10am - 11:10am Family Functioning and Child Mental Health – Implications for Trauma Recovery Barry L. Irons, M.D., Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Mayo Clinic Health System – Franciscan Healthcare The family is the foundation of child development and family variables can impact the adjustment, stability and well-being of both children and parents.

Research shows that there is a definite link between IPV and child abuse: child abuse is 15 times more likely to occur in households where IPV is present. Understanding the impact of IPV on children can increase appropriate professional response to both victims of IPV and child abuse and enable professionals to better empower victims of IPV to support their children. This session will address the behavioral and psychological effects violence has on children, will incorporate techniques for intervening in families where violence exists and will discuss factors that mitigate the effects of violence on children. Starvation, Torture & Scapegoating Nancy S. Harper, M.D., FAAP, Director, Center for Safe and Healthy Children, University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital Extremes of child maltreatment include intentional starvation, torture and scapegoating of children. Unfortunately these sadistic forms of maltreatment are often not identified and simply called “failure to thrive” or “physical abuse.” Using case scenarios, participants will appreciate the difference between failure to thrive and starvation as well as physical abuse and child torture. The approach to investigation, forensic documentation and medical treatment will be highlighted as well as the role of scapegoating. Panel discussion: La Crosse Area Professionals Trained in TF-CBT Jennifer Wilgocki, MS, LCSW, Midwest Center for Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy This panel of trauma-skilled professionals will discuss the importance of beginning any kind of trauma intervention with a trauma screener or assessment.
