November 2015
For several decades, policymakers, clinicians, teachers, school principals, and direct care providers in child-serving systems have been challenged to reduce the use of seclusion and restraint, especially in residential and school settings.
This webinar from Georgetown University will feature two of the speakers from a new video on the Georgetown/JBS "Trauma Informed Care: Perspectives and Resources" web-based tool available at http://gucchdtacenter.georgetown.edu/TraumaInformedCare/ or http://trauma.jbsinternational.com/traumatool. The webinar takes place on November 10 at 1:30pm ET.
The presenters highlight the importance of avoiding restrictive procedures whenever possible. They will talk about how they have changed their practices and implemented creative methods to keep staff and youth safe without re-traumatizing them. They will also talk about reduced staff turnover, reduced staff and youth injuries, and reduced costs.
