NON CME RECORDINGS: Session 3: Teasing Out Trauma: A Systematic Approach to Integrated Primary Care

---

The session will provide a short review of child traumatic stress, including approaches to identify concerns and evidence-based treatments. We will review a framework that provides a singular approach for responding to youth who have been screened for trauma, including how to discuss traumatic stress, how to teach helpful coping strategies, and how to encourage pursuing treatment when necessary. Finally, cases will highlight the clinical questions and considerations when adolescents screen positive for traumatic stress AND concerns of depression, anxiety and/or suicidality. 

 At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:  

• Identify the overlap between traumatic stress and other common mental health concerns treated in primary care
• Discuss approaches to differentiate traumatic stress from depression and anxiety concerns
• Illustrate treatments for trauma-exposed children with and without traumatic stress
