Trauma-Informed Telehealth with Adolescents
Join us for this live webinar event
March 20, 2023 -- 11:00am-2:30pm Eastern Daylight Time
3.5 CE Credits available for behavioral health clinicians
The goal of this training is for participants to distinguish among some of the most commonly used and widely researched trauma-focused interventions in working with adolescent clients who present with acute, chronic, or complex trauma. The training will primarily expand the participants’ skills on telehealth adaptations of trauma-focused and trauma-informed interventions in working with adolescent clients. Given the context of inequities in the use of telehealth and the digital divide, this training will also integrate telehealth adaptations of some culturally-adapted trauma-focused interventions in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) adolescent clients.
Registration for "Trauma-Informed Telehealth with Adolescents" can be made by one of three methods:
- Enroll in the single live event for FREE
- Enroll in the two-event 2023 Pre-Summit Learning Institute for FREE
- Enroll in the three-day Summit 2023 and receive access to this webinar and seven others and earn up to 16 CE credits
Upon completion of this training, behavioral health clinicians will be able to:
- Identify and describe at least two clinical considerations when using telehealth for working with adolescent clients exposed to trauma and/or experiencing ongoing trauma.
- Appraise the applicability of at least two core elements of trauma-focused interventions in engaging adolescent clients in telehealth.
- Illustrate at least two ways of addressing telehealth inequities and culturally-adapting trauma-focused interventions when working with BIPOC adolescent clients.
