A Systems Approach to Integrating Trauma into Screening, Assessment, Treatment and Case Planning

This advanced training will incorporate adult-based learning principles and methods. Child and parent vignettes will be used to examine trauma impact on the neurodevelopment of children through the use of screening tools, trauma assessment and then matching to the appropriate treatment. The afternoon will focus on resiliency and the development of trauma-informed resiliency plans that integrate research with practice. The day will conclude with strategies on how to develop trauma-informed systems both intra-agency and inter-agency, including a discussion of secondary trauma.
