Topic: Domestic Violence
Thursday, November 3, 2011
Presenter- Yaberci Perez-Cubillan LCSW-R
The primary goal of this workshop was to increase awareness and education in regards to the different therapeutic tools used to assess and treat victims of domestic violence. We discussed how to use genograms, ecomaps and time lines to gather information and to create a clinical formulation. In addition, we discussed how these therapeutic tools can help to normalize, validate and engage our patients in a more organic way.
This workshop covered the signs of abusive behaviors; the stages of development in children and the criteria use to diagnose Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Lastly, common trauma symptoms among children and adolescents were identified.
Although, it was clear that school officials encounter a lot of limitations providing clinical interventions, we cannot minimize the great effort made to connect these families with appropriate services.
