INTRODUCTION
The Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (ICAN) will hold our 19th annual conference on “Childhood Grief and Traumatic Loss, Restoring Joy to Children and Families” on Tuesday June 10, 2025 at the California Endowment.
Losing a loved one can be one of the most difficult experiences in one’s life. For some, it can be an earth-shattering experience with far-reaching implications. There are cultural, gender-based, and age-related differences, etc., in one’s grief experience and reactions. A child’s loss experience and grief reaction, for example, differs greatly from that of an adult, and professionals who work with families should be able to identify normal and abnormal childhood grief responses. Personally, we may have experienced the recent loss of a loved one from a separation, divorce, or death, bringing up a tremendous amount of emotional distress and limiting our ability to function effectively in our jobs, school and in our personal relationships. This annual conference is a great opportunity to share knowledge about loss, trauma, the grieving process and specifically, how children experience and cope with grief and loss. Learn about the importance of self-care, when is the best time to intervene, seek help and restore wholeness and hope.

GRIEVANCES
The Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (ICAN) is fully committed to ensuring that all conference activities are in conformance with the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) Continuing Education Standards. ICAN assures that its training conference is appropriate for LMFT and LCSW professional development and that ICAN is suitable for BBS license renewal.
Furthermore, ICAN Associates will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activates, program content and in the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these standards will be the responsibility of the ICAN Conference Chair in consultation with the Grief Conference Planning Committee and ICAN Executive Director.
While ICAN Associates goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participants, and ensure conference content is in compliance with CEU standards, there may be occasional issues that come to the attention of the conference staff. In most circumstances, a solution can be easily identified. However, if, in the rare circumstance, the situation rises to a more serious level, the grieved individual must immediately request to speak with the Conference Chair or the ICAN Executive Director who will in turn, attempt to arbitrate the situation. In addition, within 48 hours, the grieved individual must submit their grievance in writing for a record of the incident to be kept on file.
