Mixed Methods Illustration of Teachers ’ Trauma-Informed Attitudes and Practice
AbstractTraumatic events during childhood are crucial to consider when addressing children ’s social and emotional development, as childhood trauma is associated with negative impacts, including academic achievement.

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Health Outcomes Among Sexual and Gender Minorities: A Systematic Review
AbstractCurrent research indicates a strong association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and adverse health outcomes. Participants in frequently cited ACE research are predominantly heterosexual and cis gendered; the extent to which ACEs affect health outcomes among sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) is unclear. This systematic review examined the frequency of, and relationship between, ACEs and negative health outcomes among SGM. CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, Scopus, and PubMed databases were searched with no date restriction. After eliminating duplicates, titles and abstracts were reviewed resulti...

State of the Evidence of Attachment Regulation and Competency Framework and Adaptions: A Rapid Scoping Review
AbstractThe majority of children with traumatic experiences who seek treatment have had multiple traumatic experiences resulting in complex trauma. Complex trauma is associated with multiple adverse outcomes for children and caregivers. Treating complex trauma has the potential to significantly improve child mental and physical health, caregiver mental health, and reduce family conflict. One promising approach is the Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) Framework. Yet, there is limited research on the effectiveness of interventions using the ARC framework. The purpose of this rapid scoping review was to assess the ...

ConclusionsResults suggest that childhood maltreatment and household dysfunction ACEs are linked to distinct mental and behavioral health consequences among young adults. Additionally, while spirituality is associated generally with better mental and behavioral health, our findings suggest that it does not buffer the impacts of childhood maltreatment or household dysfunction.

Exploring the Effectiveness and Sustainability of Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI ®) as a Trauma-informed Approach in Two Tasmanian Child and Family Learning Centres
AbstractThe impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is well documented and poses challenges for all those living and working with children who have experienced early adversity. The need to be trauma-informed when working with children in all educational settings is now recognised as essential if healing and learning are to take place. There are an increasing number of trauma-informed approaches available, but empirical evidence that supports their efficacy, particularly in the early years of education, is currently scarce. This paper presents the findings of a small-scale study which explored early childhood profess...

Behavior Management in Young Children Exposed to Trauma: A Case Study of Three Evidence-Based Treatments
AbstractYoung children are particularly vulnerable to traumatic events and the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms, including comorbid disruptive behaviors. Fortunately, several evidence-based interventions have been shown to be effective at decreasing both posttraumatic stress symptoms and disruptive behaviors in young children. This paper provides an overview of three such interventions —Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). An illustrative case study is used to compare how each intervention addresses disruptive beha...

A Scoping Review of Mental Health and Wellbeing Outcome Measures for Children and Young People: Implications for Children in Out-of-home Care
ConclusionsOur review highlights the need for greater agreement in the use of mental health outcome measures. While our review highlights that there is value in identifying measures that can be used with any child or young person, researchers need to take into account additional considerations when working with children and young people with care experience and those with developmental disabilities, to ensure measures are accessible and sensitive to their life experiences.
