The Trauma-Informed Assessment with Lisa Ferentz
Copyright :
Although many mental health agencies and organizations are legitimately expressing the need for clinicians to be “trauma-informed,” the reality is, the definition of that phrase is open to much interpretation. In this part of the training we will explore what “trauma informed” really means, and we will address the importance of applying trauma informed concepts in the earliest phases of treatment.
