Sudden death or injury and large-scale traumatic events befall many children and adolescents. Therapists are often called upon in these situations to assist survivors and indirectly exposed children. However, early interventions differ from psychotherapeutic interventions in important ways.
This workshop will teach you how to prepare and respond to tragic events like disasters, war, terrorism, and mass-scale casualties by familiarizing yourself with current best practice standards for early interventions.
You will receive a protocol for disclosing tragic events to children. You will also learn dozens of practical, play-based, culturally sensitive techniques that provide stabilization, coping, social support-based, and psychoeducational interventions to young survivors and their families. Many of these techniques correspond to the Psychological First Aid modules and other best practice protocols.
This workshop will conclude with a discussion of posttraumatic growth and tips for therapists’ self-care and replenishment after engaging in early intervention work.
At the conclusion of this workshop, attendees will be better able to:
- identify at least three play therapy techniques
- differentiate between active (or directive) and “voiceless” (or self-initiated), play-based, early interventions.
- describe interventions that align with the “five elements” proposed by Hobfoll and colleagues (2007).
- identify 5 elements (i.e., the 5 Rs) that can be used when making death notifications or disclosing tragic events to children.
- name at least 3 methods of self-care to promote posttraumatic growth following early interventions with youth.
