Trauma-informed care is one our priorities to advance the quality of care we provide across CIS. South Bay launched an initiative in November to train 300 clinicians in trauma screening and assessment. We are fortunate to have a nationally recognized expert in Child Trauma leading the training effort: Dan Cheron, PhD, ABPP of Boston's Judge Baker Child Center and Harvard Medical School. This half-day training entails education about PTSD, what it is and how to diagnose it. Plus, clinicians are trained in the Trauma History Screen (THS) to identify children at risk for PTSD, and the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) to assess the specific symptoms of PTSD. The THS and CPSS are built into Credible EHR to streamline the process for clinicians.
