Presenters will address clinical interventions and community strategies designed to understand the nature of trauma and mitigate negative effects.
Session Objectives: Describe the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and childhood psychiatric conditions. Formulate strategies for implementing a Trauma Informed Community Building approach in an array of community settings. Describe prevalence and scope of lived trauma experience at intake to mental health and substance abuse services.
