Episode 17 - SMART Treatment Part 1
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Are you looking to add another tool to the mental health services you are providing at the CAC? Do you struggle with those kiddos who cannot regulate and are unable to take part in the systems that need to hear from them? Sensory Motor Arousal Treatment (SMART) is an innovative mental health therapy for complexly traumatized children and adolescents for whom regulation of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal life is a primary problem. In the first part of this 2-part series, we speak with Anne Westcott of Smartmoves, LLC in Massachusetts. As one of the developers of SMART, Anne discusses the development of SMART and the foundational information needed to better understand SMART as a treatment option. In this second part of the series, we discuss SMART as a treatment option for CACs, the benefits it can have to the children and families they serve, and how it can be implemented into a mental health program.
