A free webinar will showcase a new, innovative website providing free, evidence-based resources for mental health professionals who support trauma-exposed children and young people. This includes the launch of a new free four-module e-learning to improve the delivery and supervision of trauma-focused therapy to children and young people with PTSD or complex PTSD, including a new framework to support decision-making around working with complexity.
The webinar will feature discussions from leading clinical and academic experts on the latest research and best practices for providing mental health support to children exposed to multiple or complex traumas. Attendees will also get a detailed demonstration of the new website, which holds a wide range of resources for professionals in the field, including supervision tools, animations and leaflets for young people and caregivers, and resources to support practice. The website is designed to be a single point of access to high-quality and trusted resources.
This exciting initiative is part of the ADAPT study, a large implementation research project exploring barriers and facilitators to the provision of cognitive-behavioural-based mental health treatments to children and young people with experience in the care system. The ADAPT study was led by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaborations (ARCs), including ARC North Thames, ARC West, ARC North East and North Cumbria, and ARC South West Peninsula (PenARC).
The webinar, which will also feature a live Q&A session, will be delivered by:
- Professor Rachel Hiller from University College London
- Professor Richard Meiser-Stedman from University of East Anglia
- Professor Patrick Smith from King’s College London
- Dr. Jessica Richardson from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
