Michelle also presented a symposium: National Children's Alliance Mental Health Standards on Trauma: From Development to Implementation with University of Utah's Brooks Keshin, M.D. and Shannon Chaplo, Ph.D. The symposium went over how NCA standards in the U.S. support trauma screening and explore best practices for trauma identification and response at CACs.
