The TST consultant highlighted the reason behind the success of all 10 cases was due to the caring and dedicated leadership, clinical team and youth workers. The team worked together to meet the fidelity of the treatment model, requirements and clearly illustrating treatment gains.
The TGH youth workers had demonstrated good knowledge of how trauma impacts boarders and how to use TST to help them. We are aiming to be TST site certified which requires 2 TST experts, and we are halfway there! And finally, congrats to Revathi for attaining TST Expert!"
