Revisiting CAPTA and Plans of Safe Care through Provider Practice and Patient Empowerment

Webinar

This virtual educational activity is jointly provided by the Connecticut Hospital Association in collaboration with the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Target Audience: Physicians, nurses, social workers, quality professionals, risk managers, healthcare executives, nurse midwives, doulas, lactation specialists, labor and delivery nurses, and all healthcare professionals working with women and families impacted by trauma and addiction. 

Description: Please join the Connecticut Hospital Association and Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services for an afternoon of interactive learning and sharing.  During this four hour, virtual event, providers will have the opportunity to refresh their understanding of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) and plans of safe care.  Experts from across the state will present on stigma and how it affects birthing persons, and share strategies on how to talk about plans of safe care with patients.  Participants will also have the benefit of a presentation from the lived-experience perspective.  There also will be an opportunity to interact with your colleagues during a simulation breakout exercise.
