Because so many of our CE posts are for nurses only, here’s a little love for our physician readers (don’t worry, there are nursing CEs available, as well)–Understanding Youth Violence: Integrating Assessment, Prevention and Intervention in the Clinical Setting, offered by the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine. The session will be held November 21st from 1-2:30 ET. 1.5 CEs are available.
From the site:
Violence is the second leading cause of death among youth between the ages of 15 and 24. Healthcare professionals who care for adolescents and youth are in an opportune position to identify potential victims and perpetrators, as well as witnesses, to violence and participate in primary, secondary, and/or tertiary prevention strategies. This webinar provides healthcare professionals with a general overview of adolescent violence, as well as examples of screening tools and available interventions in order to increase their confidence and self-efficacy in addressing violence issues in the clinic setting.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify trends and risk and protective factors of adolescent violence in order to improve health providers’ knowledge of adolescent violence.
- Provide examples of screening tools that can be used to identify both adolescent violence victims and perpetrators.
- Provide examples of interventions, including supported referrals, that providers can use for those adolescents involved in violence.
Target audience: healthcare professionals who provide primary care to adolescents (pediatricians, family practitioners, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants).
BTW, check out their October webinar, Practicing and Teaching Cultural Inclusivity in Adolescent Health Care.
