Training and Continuing Education
The ASU REACH Institute provides education, training, and on-line support in intervention services and assessment systems. The ASU REACH Institute focuses on families undergoing stressful transitions, experiencing stress due to immigration and acculturation, and families with children with serious mental health and health behavior challenges. Our intervention services can be implemented in public schools, the court system, welfare agencies, community mental health clinics, hospice, military services, and pediatric health care settings. We work collaboratively with organizations to assess their needs and tailor trainings accordingly. Continuing Education credits are available.
Ambit Network
AMBIT Network helps communities use research-based prevention and intervention techniques to increase children’s ability to deal with trauma. In order to achieve these goals, Ambit partners with a variety of nonprofit, government, and community agencies to help them improve the care they offer to traumatized youth and families.
Trauma Screener Tool
Many who work with children need to determine whether a child has experienced traumatic stress. In response to this need, Ambit Network has developed a quick, simple, and reliable instrument to screen children for traumatic stress symptoms.
Who can use it?
Anyone who works with children ages 5-18 who may have experienced a traumatic event, including:
- Clinicians
- Case workers
- Educators
How does it work?
The Traumatic Stress Screen for Children and Adolescents (TSSCA) tool features five simple questions to measure children’s traumatic stress. The result will suggest one of three categories: normal, borderline, or requiring further trauma assessment. The tool is based on the UCLA PTSD Index for DSM V.
