Trauma-Informed Practices With Children and Adolescents is a sourcebook of practical approaches to working with children and adolescents that synthesizes research from leading trauma specialists and translates it into easy-to-implement techniques. The approaches laid out address the sensory and somatic experiences of trauma within structured formats that meet the “best practices” criteria for trauma-informed care: safety, self-regulation, trauma integration, healthy relationships, and healthy environments. Each chapter contains short excerpts, case examples, and commentary relevant to the chapter topic from recognized leaders in the field of trauma intervention with children and adolescents. In addition to this, readers will find chapters filled with easily applied activities, methods, and approaches to assessment, self-regulation, trauma integration, and resilience-building. The book’s structured yet comprehensive approach provides professionals with the resources they need to help trauma victims not just survive but thrive and move from victim thinking to survivor thinking using the current best practices in the field.

Eloquently written and easily read. This book should be on every therapist's book shelf. It informs of the current best practices and warns of the harm professionals can cause traumatized youth if the correct approach is not taken. One size does not fit all.

This book offered a list of assessments and guidelines for building resiliency. It addressed the needs of chronic trauma that I encounter in the residential setting that I work in. The authors helped me to understand how early trauma is related to the diagnoses I deal with and gave me ideas for treatment.
