Supporting South Dakota Children’s Return to School
The USD Child & Adult Advocacy Studies (CAASt) certificate program and the Center for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment (CPCM) are pleased to offer a FREE 5-hour CAASt webinar series to support the work of school staff seeking to create trauma-informed school settings. The webinar will use CAASt competencies to provide school personnel with applicable knowledge for working in multidisciplinary teams within the school. As a result, the CAASt webinar series will increase the universal knowledge, training, and competencies of school personnel and discuss perceived barriers to implementing COVID-19 responsive and trauma-informed care among school staff. The webinar will begin at 12 PM CT each day.
