Quality Mental Health for All Kids: It's Possible

Southwest Mental Health Center and the NEST Child Advocacy Center invite you to learn what it means to be a responsible broker of mental health services.

TRAINING PRESENTED BY THE KEMPE CENTER FOR THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT

SEPTEMBER 17, 2009

5-7pm

Most of us know that abuse and exposure to violence cause trauma reactions in many children, and that effective (evidence-based) treatments exist for many of these problems. We, as professionals, have a clear responsibility to guide these children and families to effective treatment, but most abused and traumatized children are not receiving evidence-supported treatment. Come learn more about how we can help!

What is evidence-supported treatment?
Why use evidence-supported treatment?
What are the responsibilities of brokers for mental health services?
