Details

The Ripple Effect Community of Practice offers foundational trauma knowledge for providers, and highlights ways to share trauma theory with family members and across systems (e.g., schools, child welfare, mental health, medical system, judiciary, police) as we work jointly to lessen the impact of trauma exposure. This series presents an integrative framework for understanding and communication across systems about how trauma can affect a child, a family, and a system. The framework was developed by Chandra Ghosh Ippen, Christopher Layne, and Bob Pynoos of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and is adapted from core trauma concepts identified and ratified by the NCTSN Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma Task Force. The Ripple Effect translates complex trauma concepts using metaphor, visual models, common language, and rich case example and shows: 1) the domains of functioning affected by trauma; 2) the mechanisms through which trauma affects development; and 3) intervention pathways. This workshop offers foundational trauma knowledge for providers and highlights ways to share trauma theory with family members and across systems (e.g., schools, child welfare, mental health, medical system, judiciary, police) as we work jointly to lessen the impact of trauma exposure.

This training series is being offered as a Community of Practice; which is a coordinated, ongoing group of providers made up of prenatal to five workers. The goal is to create a space for participants to collaborate, gain deeper knowledge in the topic, build mutual support with one another, reflect on their work experiences, and apply their learnings to real-life scenarios with children and families.

Any provider who supports very young children and their families are encouraged to apply.

This opportunity is expected to be a 3-month commitment running from September 13th to December 13th, 2024. The two hour sessions will take place on Fridays from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, totaling 10 sessions.

 

STARS credits are offered for this workshop.
