The Lunch @ DC: Evidence-based interventions for childhood trauma
In this talk, Dr. Lisa Jaycox will describe the development of school-based interventions for children exposed to trauma, which began 20 years ago to address violence exposure among recent immigrant students in Los Angeles. Since that time, the original intervention along with two adaptations have been evaluated in randomized controlled trials under real-world conditions, addressing all kinds of traumatic events, including community and family violence, school shootings, and community-wide disasters.
