Trauma Recovery for Children is Dependent on Successfully Completing a 3-Stage Model of Treatment
In order to mitigate the impact of children's traumatic experiences, a proper treatment plan must take into account the complexity of the factors that underlie these experiences.
This webinar focuses on a 3-stage model of trauma treatment and the components needed to successfully complete them. Participants will understand how to apply an evidence-based framework to the stage 1 task of establishing safety and stabilization. Dr. Lusk covers the essential areas that must be addressed before completing trauma processing, and describes how to use evidence-based grounding, self-soothing, and endorphin releasing techniques (including how to apply concepts from Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics). Participants will receive important guidelines for doing trauma narratives with children, as well as helping them to make meaningful reconnections in the final stage.
