Training Overview
The Center for Safe and Healthy Children, a child maltreatment program at the University of Minnesota, has implemented a screening tool to identify symptoms of childhood traumatic stress and suicidal ideation. The Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPM-PTS) was developed by the University of Utah and is expanding to Child Advocacy Centers throughout the country. Based on the results of the screening tool, youth will receive a referral for the appropriate level of therapeutic support which may include ongoing evidence-based therapy or an urgent mental health assessment. All families will receive an in-office intervention (i.e., education, mindfulness, meditation, square breathing, journaling) to address their primary trauma symptom. Communication between youth and caregiver will also be strengthened. Today’s presentation will provide an overview of the CPM-PTS and how it can improve service delivery to children and adolescents who have experienced trauma.
