Promising Practices for Helping Families Dealing with Trauma
Date
March 15, 2018
Traumatic situations, such as abuse, neglect, experiencing natural disasters, seeing family members impacted by immigration situations, or witnessing violent acts, can affect a child’s development. Health centers can lessen the impact of childhood trauma via the provision of workshops for parents and training for teachers to recognize signs and symptoms, short or long-term counseling, and therapy sessions at various levels. Nationally, we are also seeing long-term champions for children, such as Sesame Workshop and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, increase their attention to develop resources in this space. Presenters will discuss their experiences and programs that have proven effective at the health center level, identify resources for providers and families, and engage participants in a robust Q&A on how health centers can lead.
