ACEs and Complex (Developmental) Trauma in Children
ID: 5661WEBThis is a two-part webinar that provides an overview of the concept of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the historical and contextual risk factors that set the stage for ACE’s, and the potential lifelong impact of ACEs. Complex Trauma has only recently been added to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and such trauma in children is often the result of multiple ACEs and toxic stress. There is a large literature on Developmental Trauma Disorder, the consequence ACEs and complex trauma in young children, but this has not yet been included in any diagnostic system. The lack of recognition of this condition is addressed, along with developing treatment models.

Psychopharmacology with Children and Adolescents
ID: 5652WEBApproximately 1 in 5 children/adolescents has a diagnosable mental health condition. Rates of anxiety and depression have particularly been increasing, with the American Academy of Pediatrics declaring a national mental health emergency in this patient population in 2021. There are fewer evidence-based, FDA-approved psychotropic medication options available for pediatric patients, leading to frequent “off-label” use. Children may also be more vulnerable to adverse effects from medication compared to adults. Front-line healthcare workers, such as social workers, are in a prime position to monitor patients who are taking psychotropic medications for symptom improvement and adverse effects to aid in appropriate team-based care.[Requirement for Child & Adolescent Mental Health Certificate Program]
