Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS)
Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS)
Students with high exposure to trauma and other types of adverse childhood experiences are at high risk of impaired self-regulation and executive function (skills that help individuals focus, plan, prioritize, work towards goals, self-regulate behaviors and emotions, adapt to new and unexpected situations, and ultimately engage in thinking and planning), which manifest in the classroom as inattention, impulsivity, defiance, conflicts with peers and adults, and poor classroom and academic performance. The TCIS system offers a school and district-wide approach to creating safe, calm, predictable school and classroom environment, which includes supporting developmental relationships that help to prevent and de-escalate potential crisis, as well as managing crisis as they unfold. Supporting students socially, emotionally, and behaviorally motivates them to focus on academics and engage in classroom learning opportunities.
This webinar will describe the six domains for the TCIS system: Student and Family Inclusion; Leadership and Administrative Support; Clinical and Social Work Participation; Coaching and Post-Crisis Response; Training and Competency Standards; and Documentation, Incident Monitoring, Data-Driven Decision Making, and Feedback. A range of skills to prevent, de-escalate and manage aggressive pain-based behavior and reduce stress and risk will also be discussed.

CARE: Creating Conditions for Change
CARE: Creating Conditions for Change
The CARE model is a principle-based program model that provides child-serving organizations such as schools, residential treatment programs, juvenile justice, and foster care programs a set of research and standard-informed principles to guide decision- making and practice choices that are in the best of interests of the children they serve. These best practice principles provide staff with clear objectives for daily routines, classroom instruction, adult-student interactions, and establish a clear framework for all staff in their interactions with students, families, and other staff members. The goal of the CARE model it to establish a framework for practice based on a valid theory of how children change, grow, and develop that assists adults in providing trauma-informed enriching experiencing for children in an environment that feels safe and provides children with developmentally appropriate opportunities to grow and thrive.
This webinar will describe the six CARE principles: Relationship-Based, Trauma- Informed, Developmentally-Focused, Competence-Centered, Family-Involved, and Ecologically-Oriented, and the impact that implementation of CARE has had on increasing positive child outcomes in child serving organizations.
