Description

This workshop is a special partnership with the Childhood Violent Trauma Center of the Yale Child Study Center at Yale University School of Medicine

Developed by Steven Marans, MSW, PhD and Carrie Epstein, LCSW-R, The Acute Stress Intervention for Adults (ASI) is a brief, 1 to 4 session evidence-informed structured approach for clinicians to provide one-on-one consultation to health care staff experiencing COVID-19 related stress. ASI is based on the co-developers’ extensive experiences in working with adults as part of their trauma-focused evidence-based treatment, the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI), and well as their experience in working with adults in the immediate aftermath following mass casualty events, such as the Sandy Hook Elementary school tragedy.

Learning Objectives: By attending this session attendees will be able to:

• Implement the Acute Stress Intervention (ASI) to reduce acute stress symptoms in healthcare staff experiencing COVID-19 related stress.
• Assess for acute stress reactions using the Acute Stress Disorder Scale, adapted for COVID-19.
