The Nebraska CASA Association is pleased to announce a free virtual training, entitled, “Domestic Violence-Informed Child Welfare Practice for Safety, Healing, and Prevention.” Join us for an insightful session delving into the intricacies of domestic violence and its profound effect on children within the child welfare system. In this session, we will explore the basics of domestic violence, examining its intersection with child abuse and neglect, and the critical role of child welfare professionals in addressing these intertwined issues. Learn practical strategies for working with domestic violence survivors to help foster safety and empowerment, and domestic violence abusers to promote accountability and responsibility. Discover how to advocate effectively for the best interests of children, recognizing them as co-survivors of domestic violence, and prioritizing their well-being.
