ForwardSession 1: Trauma and Resilience in Children, Adolescents, and their Families
Twenty-five percent of American youth experience serious traumatic events by their 16th birthday that may include maltreatment, exposure to violence, and natural disasters. Ten percent have experienced five or more such events in the last year that can have consequences across multiple psychosocial and neurophysiological domains contributing to co-occurring disorders of PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, as well as conduct, academic, and health problems.
This workshop will consider what distinguishes these two groups and the implications for both treatment and preventative interventions. Evidence-based, trauma-focused treatments for victimized youth and their families will be presented using a life-span treatment perspective as well as presenting ways that clinicians, family members, educators, and community leaders can employ risk reduction and asset-focused strategies. Ways to use resources, overcome adversities, and move along pathways toward resilience will be highlighted.
