Course Description

This interactive workshop uses Problem Based Learning to help practitioners gain competence in working with children who have been impacted by trauma and grief.

Objectives:

  1. Apply a trauma-informed conceptual lens to real-world aspects of professional practice, including assessment, case management, and treatment planning.
  2. Use critical reasoning to make judgments about the relative impact of various factors hypothesized to influence a child's traumatic experience and post-traumatic adjustment.
  3. Identify ecological factors hypothesized to influence children's traumatic experiences and contribute to their post-traumatic adjustment.
