Creative Evidence-Based Interventions for Children Coping with Trauma and Loss

4-day Training Program

This four-day course is for mental health practitioners who provide therapy to children, adolescents, and their families and are interested in augmenting their clinical skills and therapeutic toolkit. The course will cover various topics including rapport-building, engaging resistant children and parents in therapy, implementing an innovative assessment model, understanding the impact of trauma on children, and treating issues such as trauma, bereavement, and divorce.

Activities that are creative and play-based can engage children, help them to express their thoughts and feelings, and motivate them to learn and utilize coping skills. This workshop will present a variety of playful interventions, including therapeutic games, art, and stories. Since research highlights the importance of caregiver involvement in children’s treatment, ideas for use with caregivers and families will be highlighted.

Through didactic presentation, experiential exercises, and videos of actual client sessions, this training will combine theoretical material with hands-on therapeutic techniques. Participants will come away with many new and innovative engagement, assessment, and treatment interventions for use with children and families who present with a wide range of issues.
