The REACH Institute, Casey Family Programs and the Annie E. Casey Foundation have worked together to develop a Mental Health Practices in Child Welfare Guidelines Toolkit.
It covers:
* Screening and assessment
* Interventions
* Medication

This toolkit provides suggestions and resources for putting the guidelines into action in child welfare agencies.

Question for Readers: What Do You Think of This Model?
This is new to me...
The Intergenerational Trauma Treatment Model is "a revolutionary trauma treatment for 3-18 year olds and their adult caregivers. It consists of a comprehensive and robust, 21-session manualized program that is informed by trauma theory, attachment theory and advanced CBT techniques. ITTM effectively trains practitioners across all professional designations."
WHAT: The ITTM is a model that works to resolve the impact of trauma on a child through the caregiver.
HOW: The ITTM heals unresolved impact in the caregiver's history first and then re-positions the caregiver in treatment sessions to be the primary impact healer for the child.
WHO: The ITTM empowers caregivers to retain and regain their position as their child's most important and influential support.
