Description

Trauma doesn’t wait for the perfect moment — it strikes without warning and often leaves children, youth, and their families struggling to find the support they need. 

While telehealth has improved access to care for many, especially those in rural or underserved areas, it has also presented clinicians with unique challenges in engaging clients effectively, building trust, and adapting evidence-based trauma interventions to a virtual environment.

Dr. Ritchie Rubio, a distinguished expert in trauma-focused therapy and telehealth, has curated this comprehensive course to empower mental health practitioners like you with the tools and techniques to deliver exceptional trauma care remotely.

This course will primarily expand your skills on telehealth adaptations of trauma-focused and trauma-informed interventions in working with children and youth clients. 

With this course, you'll gain invaluable knowledge to distinguish among some of the most commonly used and widely researched trauma-focused interventions, including play therapy, in working with children and youth clients who present with acute, chronic, or complex trauma.

Given the context of inequities in the use of telehealth and the digital divide, you will also learn how to integrate telehealth adaptations of some culturally-adapted trauma-focused interventions in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) clients.

Plus, Dr. Rubio will share insights from the latest research on telehealth and trauma-focused intervention to help you stay at the forefront of this critical field.

This course is your chance to expand your toolkit and enhance your ability to effectively support clients navigating and overcoming trauma, regardless of geographical barriers - don't miss it!

Register today and empower yourself with the skills to transform your practice and profoundly impact the lives of those who need it most.

This is a non-interactive, self-study course. 

Instruction consists of 1.5 hours of video instruction and a post-test.
