About This Session:
Supporting youth after trauma (e.g., maltreatment, exposure to violence or other crimes) means looking beyond a single moment or system — it means seeing and supporting the whole child and their family over time. In this session, participants will explore what the processes and procedures look like for youth and their families who are referred to a child advocacy center as part of initial investigations of trauma exposure like child abuse or violence in the home. Participants will also learn about how the characteristics and experiences of the youth, their family, and the community may impact a youth’s mental health challenges in the initial days and weeks after traumatic events.

Rural kids deserve great healthcare — and school-based Community Health Workers (SB-CHWs) are making that happen across Kansas and Missouri.

Telehealth ROCKS is measuring the real-world impact of our SB-CHW program, and your voice matters. We're asking community members, educators, and families to take a brief 5-10 minute survey by May 22nd.

Every response helps make the case to state and federal policymakers for sustaining and expanding this program.
