SCAN Spotlight:
Natalie Clavon enhances Family Support Program as Clinical Coordinator
|
Natalie has been a member of the
Family Support Program
staff for several years now. She brings an extensive clinical and education background of experience to her role as Clinical Coordinator, a position that was recently expanded to full-time. We are thankful to Natalie for sharing her passion, intelligence, and hard work with SCAN!
How did you first get involved with SCAN? What is your current role?
I first heard about SCAN from a colleague who was running a
Family Support Program
group. I started as a parenting group facilitator about 3 years ago.
Currently, I am the Family Support Program Clinical Supervisor. I provide supervision and support to SCAN parenting group facilitators, conduct initial intake appointments, observe group meetings, and run groups as well. It’s rewarding to see the whole continuum of the parenting group process that our parents go through. I often am the first person at SCAN that parents meet, then I hear about and observe their progress throughout the group and up until completion of the group.

New Trauma Focused Treatment Model Comes to CAC
|
Five SCAN staff that work within the Trauma Focused Treatment program at the Child Advocacy Center attended a 2-day training with the Yale Child Study Center in July. This training was the beginning of the implementation of the Child and Family Traumatic Stress (CFTSI) Model at the CAC.
CFTSI addresses the fact that we know a supportive caregiver is a primary protective factor for children exposed to trauma. By working with both the child and caregiver, increasing communication between the child and caregiver, and providing specific behavioral skills that are taught to both the caregiver and child to cope with symptoms, we can address risk factors and promote healing. We look forward to joining CACs around the country in implementing this model.

In addition, the PGA TOUR will donate an additional 10 percent on donations made through Birdies for Charity, so SCAN will receive an additional 10 percent of total pledges!

Circle Preschool Program prepares for Transition to Kindergarten
|
|
SCAN's 8 Circle Preschool Program graduates have been getting ready for their transition to their next educational step! As a culminating project of their study on ways to calm their bodies and brains when feelings are strong, the children created Regulation Tool Belts.
The children plan to take the tool belts to their new schools to show teachers what helps them calm and to show friends tools to calm. This was a joint project of Circle Preschool's staff and our master's interns from VCU's Social Work and Counseling and Special Education-School of Education Departments.
