The ARC framework is an evidence-informed approach to working with children and families impacted by complex trauma. This 1-day training is an overview of the ARC framework, participants can expect to gain exposure to the components of this approach through didactic and experiential learning.
Target Audience: Psychiatric Nurses, Psychologists, Social Workers, and Mental Health Clinicians
Trainer: Schenike Massie-Lambert, Ph.D.
The Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency (ARC) framework is a core-components treatment model, developed to provide a guiding framework for thoughtful clinical intervention with complexly traumatized youth and their caregiving systems. Drawing from the fields of trauma, attachment, and child development, the framework recognizes the importance of working with the child-in-context, of acknowledging the role of historical experiences and adaptive responses in current presentation, and of intervening with the surrounding environment – whether primary caregivers or treatment system – to support and facilitate the child’s healthy growth and development. Rather than identify step-by-step intervention strategies, the framework identifies 10 key “building blocks”, or intervention targets, key skills/goals within each domain, developmental and cultural considerations, and potential applications across settings.
