Making the Decision to Report Suspected Child Maltreatment - NYS Mandated Reporter Training 2.5 CEUs
March 4, 20252:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Many professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters of suspected child maltreatment.

This workshop provides profession-based context to the role of mandated reporter where professionals are charged with knowing how to support their clients and when they are required to report a concern to child protective services. Mandated reporters will learn a framework to guide the decision to make this “tough call” using research findings and practical advice based on real case examples.
** This training meets the updated New York State standards for training in the identification and reporting of suspected child maltreatment required for completion by April 2025 for current licensees. **
Presented by: Dr. Kathryn Krase, Ph.D., J.D., M.S.W

Continuing the Conversation: Navigating the Grants Landscape Under the New Administration
Continuing the Conversation: Navigating the Grants Landscape Under the New Administration
March 5, 20251:00 pm - 2:00 pm
When it comes to federal grant funding, you may find yourself struggling to keep up with the frantic pace of Executive Orders and other actions being taken by the new administration. As the Courts get involved it can be difficult to know exactly where things stand, and project how the dust will settle, with each decision made by the Federal Government.
Join two of Grants Office's most experienced executives for a follow-up discussion on the impact of recent decisions by the Executive Branch on federal grant funding. Whether you are concerned about your open grant awards, or your future grantseeking efforts, we have our pulse on the grant funding landscape and will keep you informed on the latest developments.
We will discuss:
· Where things stand with the current federal funding review initiated under several Executive Orders. · Other Federal Agency directives, including the NIH’s attempt to cap indirect costs and the DOJ’s decision to review funding flowing to “sanctuary cities”. · What to expect over the next several weeks and months. · Strategies for proactive grantseekers to capture more grant funding over the next two years.
We anticipate a lot of interest in this topic from our grant-seeking community. To get through as many of your questions as possible, we ask that you submit your questions when you register for the event.
Supervisors play a critical role in staff retention and engagement, yet leadership challenges can lead to burnout and high turnover. With the right strategies, organizations can create a supportive environment that empowers staff and improves long-term success.
Everyone has experienced or will experience grief at some point in their lives. Over the past two years, grief has profoundly impacted individuals on both personal and community levels. This training will focus on understanding various aspects of grief beyond the traditional five stages and explore how we can help frame grief for clients to support them on their healing journey.

Mental and behavioral health professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters of suspected child maltreatment. However, our legal requirement to report is often confusing to navigate in relation to our other professional and ethical responsibilities. This workshop is intended for mental and behavioral health professionals who already have a basic understanding of their obligations as mandated reporters and want to explore areas complicated by our professional relationships with clients in light of these legal obligations. Specifically, we will examine informed consent practices with different client populations, how to support clients after making a report, and how to work with child protective services, especially concerning concerns for racial and social justice in the child welfare system.
Additional content has been added to meet the NYS requirement for updated mandated reporter training by April 1, 2025.

The NYS Office of Mental Health, in partnership with the Center for Workforce Excellence, invites you to participate in a special opportunity to use a novel assessment tool with children and youth in your clinic or CCBHC. The K-CAT® is a validated, computer-based screening tool that provides a self-report measure of severity in 9 different domains related to mental health. In an average of 10 minutes, the K-CAT® provides a streamlined way to identify areas of concern, allowing you more time to focus on planning and delivering treatment.
As part of this initiative, you will get special training and support to make sure your team has the knowledge to use the tool correctly and the skills to make use of the results provided by the tool.
Audience: This initiative is open to all Article 31 clinics that serve children and families (MHOTRS) and all Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs). At this time, we cannot accept other clinics for this program.
Because this opportunity involves the possibility of making modifications to your assessment process, it is recommended that any leadership or staff involved in changes at the agency level attend.
Key features of the K-CAT® include:
The K-CAT® uses adaptive technology to ask targeted questions from a bank of items, optimizing the questions asked by considering previous responses, creating an individualized screening tool.
The computer-delivered results reveal a score related to the severity of symptoms experienced as well as a probable diagnostic profile giving clinicians a road map of where to focus their attention.
When the K-CAT® is administered, children/youth and their parents or caregivers answer questions separately. In NYS, the average completion time for the parent / caregiver is 8 minutes and for child / youth it is 11 minutes.
The K-CAT® provides information based on questions from the domains of depression, anxiety, mania, ODD, ADHD, and conduct disorder, as well as PTSD and substance use disorder and suicidality (PTSD, SUD, and suicide are self-report by the child only). It also includes a flag for children experiencing severe symptoms of either active or passive suicide.
The K-CAT® is not only efficient at identifying areas to focus on, it is easy to use: it is optimized for any type of device (desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or even phone), in or out of the clinic!
Please join us on Thursday, March 13th from 2pm-3pm for an introductory webinar to learn more about the K-CAT®, training requirements, and how to apply for the pilot initiative.

The New York Center for Child Development (NYCCD), in collaboration with McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research, is pleased to offer upcoming trainings on ZERO TOTHREE’s DC:0-5™ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-5™).
Funded through the New York State Office of Mental Health (NYSOMH), this comprehensive training is specifically designed for participants who are directly involved in the developmental and mental health evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of children birth to five years of age. Professionals who work in mental health, early intervention, and pediatric settings are eligible to attend. Please note that these offerings are intended for New York State professionals only.
DC:0-5™ is a research and clinically-informed multi-axial diagnostic system that provides a comprehensive guide to the clinical disorders found in young children. DC:0-5™ was developed since existing diagnostic systems do not take into account the unique needs of children birth to age 5. OMH has been working closely with Medicaid to make DC:0-5™the recommended diagnostic tool for children birth to age 5.
This training provides approaches to diagnosis from an Infant Mental Health perspective which is developmentally informed, relationship based, contextual and culturally responsive. Participants will have the opportunity to participate in one “Community of Practice” call following the training for support on use of DC:0-5™ in their practice.
Participation in this training is free of charge and participants will receive a complimentary DC:0-5™ electronic manual.
