This 90-minute webinar will provide general guidance for providers implementing any kind of tier 2 (and in some instances tier 3) trauma interventions virtually. Though the webinar will focus on CBITS, Bounce Back and SSET the content can be generalized to other trauma-focused interventions due to the overlap in approach when using CBT. Finally, there will be an emphasis on CBITS (grades 6-10) and Bounce Back (K-5) because they are the most widely known tier 2 intervention for trauma. Examples of innovative ways to reach participants with virtual rooms and through games will be provided.

The Northwest MHTTC and the Pacific Southwest MHTTC are continuing our partnership to provide and extend deeper technical assistance on the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF).
Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF) is a structure and process that maximizes effectiveness and efficiency by blending the strengths of school and community mental health with strengths of the multi-tiered framework of PBIS (Barrett, Eber, Weist, 2013)
This past year, we offered three webinars on the Interconnected Systems Framework (see below for recordings) and followed the learning series up with monthly discussion hours led by Susan Barrett and field leaders from our region.
This year, we are offering more programming to deepen your ISF work and contextualize ISF to this moment of COVID-19 and beyond. Our fall offering is made up of four modules and ends with a town hall for you to be able to ask faculty your questions and resource one another. Each module includes teaching from Susan Barrett and field leaders on ISF systems, and USC faculty on ISF practices.
