Trauma-Informed Assessment with Children and Adolescents Part 1
Thursday October 10, 2024 12:30pm - 1:30pm PDT
Learning Objectives:
  • Describe four ways trauma impacts children and adolescents 
  • Select gold standard measures to assess PTSD in children and adolescents 
  • Describe symptom criteria of PTSD and complex trauma in children and adolescents 

Description:
Trauma-informed assessment is important when working with individuals of all ages, in any setting, and regardless of the referral question. While not all individuals will need trauma-focused services, missing those that do can lead to long-term negative consequences. This workshop will focus on understanding and identifying trauma-related symptoms in children and adolescents and provide a brief overview of recommended assessment tools and interview questions. Tips for developing a trauma-informed case conceptualization will be provided. Trauma-informed assessment strategies help ensure the youth we are working with are provided with the treatments needed in order to support their healing process.
