Title: Social Conformity in Responses to Child Maltreatment: Awareness is Key!
Presenters: Thomas Mitchell, LPC-S, NCC
Description: The Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) model is an essential framework for addressing the judicial, physical, and emotional needs of children following incidents of child abuse. MDTs have been proven to yield the best outcomes for children and families while prioritizing survivors' recovery and resilience. During the review, discussion, and assessment of presented cases, each MDT member serves as an autonomous representative of their respective field, offering expertise and insight specific to their discipline. Social conformity refers to an individual’s tendency to align with the majority position, whether driven by a desire for acceptance (normative conformity), a belief that the majority is correct (informational conformity), or the need to adopt a social role (identification). In this session, Thomas Mitchell, Executive Director of Children’s Advocacy Center-Hope House, will provide insight into the dynamics of social influence within group settings and explore strategies for fostering positive group dynamics within MDTs. The integrity of the MDT process can be compromised by factors related to social conformity. This workshop will equip participants with an understanding of social influence and practical tools to mitigate conformity, ensuring the MDT functions with purpose-driven focus and optimal effectiveness.
