This training will emphasize evidence-informed assessment strategies and interventions that address children or adolescents within their social contexts (e.g., peer group, school, family, neighborhood). The interaction between environmental risk factors, protective factors, promotive and developmental factors as they contribute to coping, resiliency, and disorder will also be addressed. This training will utilize role playing, small and large group discussions, and visual displays.
