| Family Rounds A monthly series for parents and professionals
April 19, 2012, 12 noon - 1:30 p.m. Davenport 4 Board Room, NSMC Salem Hospital "Working with Traumatized Children and their Caregivers" Presenter: Gail Arnold, M.Psych, LMHC, Clinical Coordinator, Parent Child Trauma Recovery Program: Preschool Team Coordinator, OPMH at MassGeneral for Children at North Shore Medical Center Many of the children we work with present with behaviors that are related to traumatic events they have experienced. It is important as professionals to understand the impact of trauma on children so that we can offer a trauma informed/sensitive response. At MassGeneral for Children at NSMC, we have established the Parent Child Trauma Recovery Program which provides both advocacy and Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) to children and their protective caregivers who have experienced domestic violence. Child Parent Psychotherapy is an evidence-based trauma treatment in which children and their caregivers participate in the therapy. Any underlying premise being that trauma in children is best addressed within the attachment relationship. Lectures are free and take place on the third Thursday of the month. |
