Complex PTSD in ChildrenComplex PTSD in Children

"What we really need to do to help these children is not that difficult, it's not that hard. It's something that could conceivably be available in every school system, available to every child: someone who can empathically listen to what the child is saying and work towards having them establish an environment of some safety." Joyanna Silberg. This video series describes the assessment tools and therapeutic approaches that the presenters have found most useful in working with complex PTSD in children. The clinician's role in such cases often includes working with parents or guardians as well as children with complex PTSD, and can extend far beyond the therapy room to encompass psychoeducation and advocacy.
