Trauma-Sensitive Direct Care: Where Healing Happens Best

 

Dr. Bruce D. Perry from The Neurosequential Network and Dr. Stuart Ablon from Think:Kids at Massachusetts General Hospital will come together to make complicated neurodevelopmental concepts accessible and provide direct care staff with a practical, evidence-based process for trauma-informed intervention. Specifically, Dr. Perry and Dr. Ablon will teach how their respective models, The Neurosequential Model (NM) and Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), can be integrated to understand and address the impact of trauma.
