Beyond Awareness: Turning Insight Into Impact for Homeless and Foster Youth
Join Dr. Dretona Maddox for a virtual session focused on supporting homeless and foster youth. Through personal storytelling, real-world case examples, and trauma-informed strategies, participants will explore the unique challenges these youth face, examine systemic barriers, and learn culturally responsive approaches that inspire actionable change.
Child Abduction Simulation Exercise
Participants will experience practical application and increase their hands on ability to provide effective intervention and investigation in child abduction cases. Participants will gain knowledge and experience that can be shared with their local agencies. The simulation will cover first responder protocol, AMBER alert, child welfare investigation, working with schools, the District Attorney’s role, international abduction, and working with non-profit organizations.
