Assessment of Trauma in Children and Youth
Approximately 70% of the global population experiences trauma at least once in their lifetime, though its impact can vary widely from person to person. Comprehensive trauma screening and assessment are essential for identifying appropriate services, interventions, and treatments that can help reduce the risk of developing long-term mental health conditions. This three-part webinar series will explore evidence-based practices for screening and assessing developmental trauma disorder and complex trauma in children and youth. Continuing education credits are available.
