Dr. Robert Lusk uses two gripping case studies, each with its own unique challenges and successes, to illustrate the 3-stage journey of trauma treatment.
Full Description:
What does trauma treatment actually look like? This webinar reviews an evidence-based framework for guiding treatment, and expands upon it with a new domain focused on physiology. Participants learn what current research says about the use of medications for child trauma victims. This framework is then applied to two very different, complex trauma cases to determine the focus and types of interventions to use, how to prepare different children and their families for trauma processing, and how to implement both play-based and verbal trauma narratives.
Join Dr. Robert Lusk as he uses case studies to illustrate the journey of trauma treatment and the reconnection that takes place as the journey reaches its conclusion.

Explain the skills that both caregivers and children need to stabilize and get ready for trauma processing
Evaluate play-based and verbal approaches to completing the trauma narrative
