Workshop Overview

This advanced clinical training is designed for child therapists and clinical supervisors who already possess foundational knowledge of child sexual abuse (CSA). Rather than reviewing introductory concepts, the training focuses on complex clinical decision-making, trauma-informed assessment, documentation practices, multidisciplinary collaboration, supervisory responsibilities, evidence-based treatment approaches, and strategies for addressing vicarious trauma. Participants will strengthen their ability to respond confidently to nuanced CSA cases while enhancing clinical judgment, legal and ethical decision-making, and supervisory effectiveness.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will be able to: 

  • Apply developmentally informed clinical reasoning to distinguish ambiguous or atypical presentations of possible child sexual abuse.

  • Analyze factors that influence disclosure, including recantation, cultural and linguistic considerations, and neurodivergence, to guide clinical decision-making.

  • Implement trauma-informed interviewing and documentation practices that support multidisciplinary collaboration and clinical integrity.

  • Differentiate supervisory responsibilities, liability considerations, and case-escalation protocols when supporting clinicians managing child sexual abuse cases.

  • Integrate evidence-based trauma-focused interventions, including play therapy strategies, into treatment planning for children affected by sexual abuse.

  • Recognize signs of vicarious trauma and implement strategies to support clinician resilience and effective supervision
