Join us to learn more about the Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPM-PTS)!

The Care Process Model for Pediatric Traumatic Stress (CPM-PTS) was developed through a collaboration of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Utah and the Center for Safe and Healthy Families at Intermountain Healthcare’s Primary Children’s Hospital. CPM is a brief screening and response protocol guiding the identification of, and response to, traumatic stress in children seen in healthcare and other pediatric settings, such as primary care clinics and Children’s Advocacy Centers. CPM uses several different tools to screen for trauma exposure (recent and remote events), suicidality and self-harm, and traumatic stress symptoms.

Highlights include:

Identify how trauma is impacting a child

Partner with the family to keep their child(ren) safe

Create safety plans to prevent suicide

Assist family in accessing evidence-based trauma treatment

Trainees will participate in a live, virtual 4-hour training that will introduce how to utilize, score and present the results of the CPM. Case examples will be used to develop competency in utilizing the tool as well as implementing engagement and practicing coping skills with clients. Trainees will also have access to ongoing monthly group consultation calls to support implementation.
