We are so happy to announce that thanks to the generosity of people in the Safer Society community we exceeded our campaign goal of $2,500. A donation of $2,775 has been made to UNICEF for relief of Ukraine’s most vulnerable, its children.
We are looking forward to joining the attendees at this year’s New York State ATSA – NYS Alliance Joint Conference in Saratoga Springs on May 16-18. The theme is Reimagining the Future: Integrating What We Know With What We’ve Learned.
Join Alan Sroufe and Robert Weigand for a five-day online course on the most well-validated and exquisite method of appraising the organization of infant attachment behavior.
The course will involve review of selected video recordings illustrating a range and variety of attachment cases. There will be ample practice in coding. In addition, there will be lecture material on attachment concepts and on the rationale of the Ainsworth assessment approach.
Sexual wishes, interests, and fantasies are different in important ways. For example, men’s fantasies are often more closely tied to their wishes than women. Research suggests that the diversity of fantasies, more than their content, contributes to a healthy sex life. Interestingly, men who have sexually abused others often have a narrower range of fantasies, but these fantasies are not always different from men who are not known to have abused.
The child refugees are at-risk of exploitation by human traffickers. The ones who remain in Ukraine struggle to survive in an environment of destruction that has destroyed the infrastructure necessary for proper sanitation and healthy water supplies. Safer Society Foundation has donated $500 to support UNICEF’s efforts to “scale up life-saving programs for children.”
The discussion of SBA concepts and interventions will be organized into six areas: relationship development, optimistic attitude (hope) development, development of assets such as goals and protective factors, prosocial development, and intellectual development and provider development. Information will also be presented on how to target dynamic risk factors with strengths-based alternatives, utilize proactive, prevention-oriented interventions.
Mental health, corrections, and child protective services professionals are commonly asked to assess the risk that a person who has sexual abused poses to a specific child and under what circumstances, if any, the abuser might safely be allowed to have contact with the child. The Risk of Sexual Abuse of Children (ROSAC: McGrath, Allin, & Cumming, 2015) is a structured professional judgment assessment instrument for conducting these types of risk of sexual abuse assessments.
