A basic training that will talk about physical, emotional, self-injury and suicide, social and cognitive signs of abuse or neglect by developmental age.  In cases where the risk to the child is not imminent, such as in social skills deficits, very basic interventions are offered in order to help trainees connect assessment with intervention. There will be two parts to this training. Attending both is not required. Below is an outline of the topics to be covered:

-Physical issues involve differentiating injuries to parts of the body that are not commonly associated with childhood play.

-Emotional issues to include capacity to regulate emotions- to calm down in emotionally charged situations and to address challenges/problem solve and how to assess by developmental age would be covered.

-Suicide and self injury assessment.

-Social issues the training would address include the attachment and connections clients have to caregivers and others

-a brief introduction to the issues of cognitive development for children at risk
