Planning for the financial future of your child with disabilities?

Chamberlin discusses the ins and outs of Special Needs Trusts.
This event is free to attend but registration is required.

Understanding and Engaging the Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Model (TF-CBT) for Children and Adolescents
Learners in this course will get an overview of the clinical indications for engaging this model. They will learn relevant definitions and how integrate this model into their practice. Using real case examples, sessions will focus on not only diagnostic and symptom considerations, but the PRACTICE acronym and tangible activities that providers can engage in with clients. Participants will be able to bring in their own cases as well, to explore ways that this model can be used in their offices. The objective for this seminar is to provide concrete methods for clinicians currently treating youth with trauma exposure and to utilize the knowledge.
