Trauma: The haystack, not the needle! How to contextualize, assess, and treat trauma-related behaviors in young people w/ Donna Newberne, LCMHCS
January 27 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
$35.00This workshop guides therapists in navigating treatment options for trauma-related symptoms and behaviors in youths. It emphasizes that attributing behavioral struggles solely to trauma related experiences may be insufficient. It is imperative to view trauma related experiences and symptoms along a continuum and contextually. Therapists are tasked with uncovering the relationship between internalizing and externalizing behaviors and trauma, while balancing the idea that not all experiences cause PTSD or require trauma treatment. At times, stabilizing individuals and addressing trauma’s root causes through short-term, evidence-based therapy is necessary prior to trauma treatment. Other times, presenting problems may be caused or reinforced by additional factors that need to be prioritized. Leveraging decades of experience with children and families, Donna Newberne will help participants explore the assessment and contextualization of trauma and its sequela in youths and identify appropriate treatment options and steps. She will underscore the importance of treating youths within the family context and practicing self-care to manage the emotional demands of trauma work.
