MCLE's Juvenile Delinquency and Child Welfare Law Conference brings you a cohesive online program that addresses the twin pandemics of 2020–2021 that affect everyone in the juvenile justice and child welfare practice areas: COVID-19 and the racial justice uprising. Through a keynote presentation, focused breakout sessions, and interspersed stakeholder and community voices, the Conference addresses the ripple effect of the twin pandemic, the long-haul trauma that all stakeholders and families in Massachusetts are experiencing, and the implications for action in juvenile justice and child welfare practice. The planning committee, made up of representatives from all Juvenile Court stakeholders, aims to make this conference relevant to everyone involved in the Juvenile Court.
A keynote address from Dr. Katherine Gergen Barnett allows all of us to resist the pressure to "get back to normal" and reflect on how recent events have individually and collectively changed us. Using real-life narratives, she addresses how the past 18–24 months impacted the children and families we serve as well as ourselves and provide us guidance in moving forward.
The Conference also features Dr. Steven Kniffley, a clinical psychologist, professor and leader of Spalding University's Collective Care Center, a clinic focused on racial trauma. Dr. Kniffley guides attendees in defining racial trauma and how it manifests physically and psychologically. He also provides practical tips on assessing for racial trauma and referring children and families to meaningful treatment. Dr. Kniffley provides training for the Department of Child and Behavioral Services in his home state, Kentucky, and is a proud foster parent.
The Conference also includes:
- Chief Justice Amy Nechtem, who advances the administration and management of policy and practice affecting juvenile justice and child welfare in the juvenile courts throughout the Commonwealth
- Judge Gloria Tan, First Justice of the Middlesex Juvenile Court moderating a Back to School panel featuring Dr. Kris Taylor from Teachers21, Dr. Pooja Khialani from the Juvenile Court Clinic in Suffolk and Norfolk Counties and Erin O'Sullivan from the EdLaw Project of the Children's Law Center and CPCS
- A discussion of Hot Topics in juvenile justice and child welfare practice by a panel of trial and appellate expert practitioners
As a virtual event, you can catch up on the latest issues and developments in juvenile delinquency law and child welfare—all from the convenience of your home or office!
