Childhood Trauma: Translating Clinical Observations into Effective Trauma-Focused Treatment

This presentation will focus on how our understanding of the impact of trauma on the mind and body can lay the foundation for effective approaches to treating impacted children and families. Two evidence-based trauma-focused treatments will be described and case presentation will illustrate clinical concepts and strategies that support recovery, including the incorporation of culturally responsive approaches to treatment.

The learning objectives for this session are to:

1. Use knowledge about the impact of traumatic experience as a basis for determining the most effective treatments
2. Identify strategies to help children and caregivers regain a sense of control through structured approaches to trauma-focused assessment and treatment
3. Learn about effective clinical strategies and treatment through a case presentation

This will be a fully virtual session, held via Zoom. The recording of this session will not be posted on-line.
