Description
Pediatric therapists are seeing more children with trauma histories than ever before. NICU graduates, children who have lost a parent to COVID, kids with extensive medical complications, and children who have been neglected and abused; these children are on our caseload every week. Meeting their needs can be a challenge.
Knowing how to optimize your interventions using a trauma-informed approach is less daunting if you have practical strategies to apply in your therapy sessions. Make your life easier with this set of 15 attractive, easy-to-follow handouts – Trauma-Informed Therapist Handout Pack. Written by CathyAnn Collyer, OTR, LMT, they work equally well as individual handouts or as part of a larger informational packet. These immediately increase your professional visibility in your facility and demonstrate your clinical expertise to your staff and other team members. This handout packet is part of this bundle deal!
Here are some of the ways to use this Trauma-Informed Therapist Handout Pack in your clinical practice:
- Assemble a take-home packet after team meetings or clinical supervision sessions.
- Optimize treatment carryover by underlining important issues to address and specific techniques to try in the classroom or at home.
- Professional handouts demonstrate your knowledge base in a team meeting, facility in-service, or PTA presentation.
- Add these handouts to your department orientation for student therapists, new grads, or providers transitioning from another specialty into pediatrics.
