Consultation
Are you a clinician building your competency in working with children and families? Are you interested in understanding the impact of trauma and how to support the child when they don’t want to talk? Do you lead staff who support maltreated children/youth and are looking for ways to support individual children or the home as a whole?
Consultation may help you to blend your current training and models of practice with a developmentally sensitive, trauma informed intervention.
Assessment
Are you caring for a child who has a history of abuse and neglect? Are you a therapist working with a child who is challenging to support with a history of trauma? Are you a worker trying to connect a child with support resources but are confused as to what?
An NMT assessment might help.
The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics Assessment is a clinical decision making tool that helps adults who live and work with abused/maltreated children understand behaviours by providing a snapshot of the child's current developmental level and functioning, and providing recommendations to support healing.
