Prerequisite: Recognizing and Responding to Sex Trafficking (WBT)
Once you’ve completed the online course Recognizing and Responding to Sex Trafficking as a prerequisite, this interactive, self-guided online training is designed to introduce you to the Colorado High Risk Victim Identification Tool.Target Audience: all Tony Grampsas Youth Services grantees and
board members, all those building a common foundation for EDI work within their
organization
The topic of EDI has many layers and facets, and we could spend weeks discussing concepts and how to apply them to our work. This foundational WBT program, provided by the Colorado Department of Personnel Administration for all CDHS staff, is intended to add to what you already may know about EDI and to set expectations about workplace culture at all Colorado state agencies. The hope is that it introduces you to experiences outside your own and that you will continue to develop deeper knowledge and skills through open discussion, honest reflection, personal exploration, and additional training. If you leave with more questions, curiosities, and expanded awareness than when you started, that will be an indicator of success.
Target audience: foster, kinship, and adoptive parents; caseworkers; supervisors; managers and directors; CDHS staff

The task is complicated for caregivers of children and youth in foster care given the number of laws, policies, guidelines, and rules that restrict activities and require potentially time-consuming approval processes.
