Register for the upcoming NCTSN event, “Navigating Cross-Cultural Relationships in the Context of Developmental Trauma,” on Thursday, November 7, 2024 from 10:00 to 11:30 AM PT/1:00 to 2:30 PM ET. In this series, viewers experience how therapists handle critical turning points during dramatized therapy sessions and then watch multiple therapists review those sessions in case conferences. The topics covered in this series are layered and complex, with no “right answers.” They are a starting point to open up discussions on how to help children and families. In this session, Dr. Stephen P. Hydon meets with Anna and Nick, a young couple. Anna recently immigrated to the U.S. from war-torn Ukraine. Anna’s close relationship with her mother, who remains in Ukraine, is causing her to seriously consider returning home, despite the ongoing war. She has been struggling with guilt over leaving her mother behind. Register here: https://bit.ly/4fpyPJ0
