Learning from Latino/Latina Parents: An Evidence-Based Treatment to Address Trauma In Young Children and Parents

presented by Ruth Paris, Ph.D., LICSW & Karen Garber, LICSW, CEIS IMH-E

Parenting young children can be a time filled with dreams and expectations. Yet for many, it also includes major challenges and stressors. What happens when early parenthood is accompanied by trauma, immigration to a new country, limited resources, and a lack of community connections?

This presentation will offer a window into a promising clinical approach to fostering resilience and ameliorating the consequences of parental and early childhood trauma among Latinx immigrant families.

We will share evidence of how Early Connections/Conexiones Tempranas’ adapted Child-Parent Psychotherapy approach is associated with positive outcomes for parents and children, and what the intervention means to participants. We will close with clinical examples and an opportunity for conversation.
