Description: Injury is the most significant public health threat to children in the US, with 1 in 5 children injured each year. In total, 14 million children less than 15 years of age are injured each year, resulting in 9 million hospital visits and 250,000 hospital admissions (Inj Prev 2006; 12:212-218). Research has shown that trauma significantly increases the risk of physical illness, mental health problems, poor school performance, and difficulties with social relationships and behaviors (http://www.nctsnet.org/). Join Lisa Pool, CCLS, for a 1.25 hour program designed to give school nurses an understanding of what trauma means to a child and some of the common developmental reactions. This program will also identify influences affecting the trauma response, techniques to help the traumatized child and their parents, and available resources and community referrals.
