Training Overview
Minnesota Children’s Alliance is excited to present our second mental health training series with Danielle Vrieze, PhD, LP, a licensed child & Adolescent psychologist and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
This training session will help clinicians identify when trauma-focused therapy is the appropriate intervention for children and adolescents, as opposed to other treatment approaches. It will provide practical guidance on tailoring therapeutic skills and activities to fit the developmental needs of younger children, school-age youth, and teens. The session will also explore the essential role of parents and caregivers in treatment, including how they can support their child through the joint witnessing of the trauma narrative.
