Presentations

The Child HELP Partnership team presented 7 posters at the annual meeting of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and 1 poster at the annual meeting of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.  Topics included how we build resilience in children and how parents feel better after Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, how NYC children reacted emotionally and behaviorally to COVID-19, and opportunities and challenges for our partner sites as they implement trauma interventions as part of the national project.

The National Child HELP Partnership dissemination and training project added two new sites—the Boys & Girls Club of Southern Nevada and the Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan.  We are excited to work with these two innovative Boys & Girls Clubs because they are among the first to embed trauma-informed mental health services into their initiatives.
