Course Description

The purpose of this 1.5 credit continuing education training is to improve the social worker’s/practitioner’s skill of case conceptualization from a trauma-informed perspective and how to present this strengths-based perspective to the client for purposes of collaborative contracting. Information will be presented regarding trauma-informed assessment and screening as applied to working with clients in an outpatient behavioral health setting.

  • Identify key stages of trauma-informed case conceptualization.
  • Identify a minimum of 3 screening and assessment tools for trauma-informed case conceptualization.
  • Identify at least 2 ways to collect trauma/loss history and explain one.
  • Give an example of presenting your case conceptualization back to the client for clarification and collaborative contracting.
