The Child Abuse and Neglect Institute (CANI) was created to provide training in dependency court best practices for judicial officers. Offered as a highly interactive in-residence training program, CANI is aimed at judges who have been newly assigned to child abuse and neglect/dependency cases, or judges who have been presiding over these cases for some time and who want the latest information about best practice in this area.
This week-long program brings together local and national faculty to teach on core topics including:
- The role of the juvenile court judge
- Judicial leadership and ethics
- Federal child welfare legislation
- Substance abuse and permanency planning
- Medical issues in child abuse and neglect cases
- Child development, bonding and attachment, and trauma
- ICWA and tribal-state court collaboration
- Former foster youth and reunified parents’ panels
- Interactive case scenario discussions |
