Summit Overview
This Summit & Training will present the latest research, prevention, assessment and intervention techniques concerning various aspects of child, adolescent and adult trauma and maltreatment, and the long‐term effects if they go untreated. Plenary and Breakout Sessions discuss the types of child, adolescent and adult trauma, the dynamics of maltreatment and trauma at home or in the community, and the effects on children, adolescents and adults psychologically, behaviorally and neurodevelopmentally. Nationally and internationally recognized presenters and local practitioners come together to discuss the latest research, assessment methods, interventions and prevention strategies for children, adolescents and adults who have been traumatized, abused and/or victimized. Application of current research information and providing people with practical techniques are areas of emphasis throughout this Training Summit.
