NOTES: This webinar will describe how to prosecute a criminal animal case in an increasingly polarized environment.

NOTES: Participants will delve into essential principles that underpin effective and contemporary animal control programs. The curriculum offers a comprehensive framework intended to assist organizations contemplating the establishment of an animal control program or seeking to refine their existing initiatives. It serves as a strategic guide for evaluating and optimizing program architectures that effectively serve and support communities.
CATEGORIES: Corrections, Leadership, Mental Health
NOTES: This interactive session will focus on the importance of collaborative leadership among custody command staff and medical & mental health administrators. It’s critical that all levels of a correctional facility’s operation work together to ensure the best care, custody, and control are provided to incarcerated individuals. Poor communication, a lack of collaboration, and conflict ultimately lead to poor safety, critical incidents, and adverse outcomes that lead to liability.
NOTES: Jails are at ground zero of the epidemic. More than 30% of people incarcerated in jails suffer from serious opioid withdrawal and often have little to no control over opioid use. Individuals are brought in directly from the street, often actively under the influence of opioids and/or actively withdrawing from opioid use. Left untreated, there are risks to the patient's safety, risks to facility staff due to the potential for a critical incident, and potential liability for the facility.
NOTES: This webinar will address the reasons why wellness programming and resources are a non-negotiable and must be integrated into the culture of your agency, how to evaluate the effectiveness of the program by applying the design thinking model, and next steps to take in expanding your program. Integrating special populations such as family and retirees, trends in wellness, and agency examples will be discussed.
NOTES: In this webinar, you’ll explore the newest trends, tools, and research in EQ, equipping you with the skills to enhance personal and professional relationships, improve decision-making, and foster a positive workplace environment.

NOTES: Every day, our brains play a soundtrack. At times, it’s our favorite jam, while other times, it can be nothing but a cycle of shame and insecurity. Many factors play into the soundtrack: relationships, mental health, ADHD, a lack of confidence at work, and more. The real question is, if we know these negative soundtracks will play, how can we hit the “Next” button before they cause us to spiral? During this session, we’ll dive into the soundtracks we play in our heads.
NOTES: “Self-Care” had a promising start when introduced to the field. At its best, it attempted to acknowledge that the job is hard and we need to honor ourselves. Unfortunately, it has now devolved into a concept that, at best, is unattainable, and, at worst, makes you feel worse (the exact opposite of what self-care is supposed to do). This webinar will discuss concrete alternatives to “self-care” and address reasons why it can be a high-risk strategy for providers in the field.
CATEGORIES: Domestic Violence, Mental Health, Other
NOTES: Those who experience crime are not a monolith, and many victims of crime can experience multiple types of victimization. A one-size-fits-all approach leaves many victims, especially those experiencing intimate-partner violence, without the services and support they need. Service providers need to understand poly-victimization and how it impacts survivors’ experiences with the programs at all levels and work to find the right resources and support mechanisms to serve victims best.
CATEGORIES: Human Trafficking, Physical Recovery, Mental Health
NOTES: In part four of Human Trafficking, we will examine societal solutions to human trafficking at the macro and micro levels. We will illustrate awareness and preventative strategies for human trafficking. Recovery and coping for the victim from trauma will be analyzed. We will wrap up our exploration of the complexities involving this vital topic. In each webinar, we will review indicators of human trafficking. This topic will be presented from a multidisciplinary approach.
CATEGORIES: Ethics & Decision Making, Mental Health
NOTES: Have you ever spent your entire day making all types of decisions and then can’t decide where you are going to go to eat because it’s just too much? In today’s world, most people are at this point, but few know why. Decisions add to the physical, mental, and emotional loads that we carry. When decision fatigue hits, you can feel exhausted, overwhelmed, emotionally upset, or experience brain fog.
NOTES: We all have thoughts, opinions, and great ideas, but do we always share them? What has held you back?

CATEGORIES: Communication, Mental Health
NOTES: We all knew that working to help homeless animals day in and day out would be challenging and emotionally draining; what we didn’t know was that those difficulties would be multiplied by a nearly constant barrage of attacks from people, both within and outside our profession. Those attacks can leave us feeling confused, angry, and isolated, and can have significant impacts on our physical and emotional well-being.
NOTES: Strong relationships and collaboration between advocates and law enforcement agencies enhance victim’s access to information and support, increase community trust in the criminal justice system, and ultimately help build safer communities. In this webinar, we will explore the benefits of these partnerships and strategies to develop and sustain relationships between law enforcement and victim service providers.
NOTES: The topic of secondary/vicarious trauma and burnout has been discussed to death at this point for most people. Most professionals don’t need another “self-care” talk or another discussion of how burned out they are. Everyone has been through the thresher. At this point, self-care isn’t something you need to learn; it’s something you need to remember, something that all the hits and all the losses you experience each day make you forget.
NOTES: Rights for victims and co-victims of crime have been formalized in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the federal government. These rights are available throughout multiple stages of the justice system, but the obligation to ensure access to those rights starts when crimes are reported to law enforcement agencies.
CATEGORIES: Human Trafficking, Legal, Prosecutorial
NOTES: In part three of Human Trafficking, we will describe the legal parameters of human trafficking. We will discuss investigative techniques in human trafficking. We will explore technologies (cybers) role in human trafficking. Prosecutorial issues will be discussed. We will continue to explore the complexities of this important topic. In each webinar, we will review indicators of human trafficking. This topic will be presented from a multidisciplinary approach. The focus will be on the US.
NOTES: Do you want to work in a place where you feel safe? At work, and in life, we should be able to live our lives where it is safe to take risks, to fail, to NOT be ok, and be able to ask for the help that we need it. To be able to voice concerns, question processes, and ideas. Sadly, too many places are stuck in the status quo. Everyone in an organization can create a safe environment through thoughtful, deliberate action.

And when those negotiators seek out good training courses to attend, they are forced to settle for antiquated debriefs or the feeling that the training really didn’t apply to them. We believe crisis negotiators deserve better!
Our instructors are both current Team Leaders on a busy urban team, so they know exactly what works and what doesn’t.
