ICAN Nexus XXVIII Training Conference

The Inter-Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (ICAN) will hold an in-person training conference, NEXUS XXVIII Training Conference: Violence within the Home and Its Effects on Children on Thursday, October 29, 2025, at the Sheraton Universal Hotel at 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Each year the Nexus conference offers unique and innovative training for interested professionals, child advocates and students. Once again, we are honored to provide attendees an opportunity to hear from local, state, and national experts about the impact of violence within the home on children and explore potential solutions. It is hoped that the information presented will continue to inspire violence prevention efforts in the home, in our communities and throughout society. We invite you to join us this year as we explore a wide range of issues related to family violence and the relationship between child abuse and domestic violence.

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 Nexus 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 CE 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.
