In this National Resource Center for Permanency and Family Connections (NRCPFC) webcast, presenters will discuss a growing area of focus in child welfare – trauma-informed practice and intervention. During this webcast, Glenn Saxe and Erika Tullberg from the NYU Child Study Center will provide information about how trauma impacts children, families, and staff involved in the child welfare system, and offer concrete ways that foster parents, staff, agency leaders, and other stakeholders can help mitigate trauma’s impact on children, families, and the child welfare system overall. During this presentation Dr. Saxe will provide an overview of Trauma Systems Therapy, an evidence-informed, comprehensive, multi-pronged approach used by a growing number of child welfare providers that goes beyond a doctor and a child in an office and takes into account a child’s support system and home environment in addressing his or her trauma-related symptoms. The presenters will also share information about resources that can support trauma-informed practice and intervention, and plans for evaluation of the impact of these tools.
