Young Children and Trauma: Service System Collaborations

New from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network Learning Center for Child and Adolescent Trauma:

From clinics to classrooms, from the judicial bench to the military base, mental health professionals are collaborating with service systems to help young children who have survived trauma. Learn about the opportunities and challenges of these efforts by participating in the NCTSN Speaker Series, Young Children and Trauma: Service System Collaborations.

The first presentation is Friday, December 18 at 11AM Pacific/2PM Eastern. Network members Kristin Howard, Helen Strothers, and Mindy Kronenberg will present "Consultation in Child Care and Head Start Settings."

Developed by the NCTSN Zero to Six Collaborative Group and offered through the NCTSN Learning Center for Child and Adolescent Trauma , this free web-based series will describe how mental health professionals can engage with community service systems to facilitate identification and intervention with the youngest trauma survivors.

An introductory presentation on infant and young child mental health provides context for the series, while each of six additional presentations will address a specific service system. The attached flier has more information.
