MILWAUKEE (4/14/2011) - Children who experience short- or long-term traumatic situations such as abuse or neglect, exposure to substance abuse, involvement with the criminal justice system, or develop eating disorders, often feel frightened or anxious, have bad dreams, act out or may try to injure themselves.
To better meet the needs of children in Wisconsin, all Children's Service Society of Wisconsin therapists participated in a training program focused on pediatric trauma counseling. Training was provided by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Continuing Education. The online training program prepares therapists to intervene during traumatic situations and understand the psychological and behavioral issues resulting from a trauma to more effectively treat children.
A second course also is offered and, once complete, qualifies the therapist to be a certified Trauma Counselor.
Staff at offices throughout the state took the training.
