M02: The Linkage Between Childhood Trauma and Adolescent Co-Occurring Disorders<br />

Gordon R. Hodas, MD<br />

1.5 hours Focus: Children & Adolescents<br />

Description:<br />

This workshop addresses the clear linkage between childhood trauma, especially childhood maltreatment, and<br />

the development of co-occurring disorders in adolescents and youth transitioning to adulthood. Successful<br />

youth transition requires careful attention to the trauma histories of individuals presenting with SUD and<br />

psychiatric disorder. A model, integrated, evidence-based program is reviewed that helps juveniles with cooccurring<br />

disorders transition from secure facilities back to the community.<br />

Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:<br />

• Describe the circular process that contributes to the strong correlation between trauma and<br />

maltreatment, on the one hand, and substance use, on the other;<br />

• Define the term “trauma-informed care;”<br />

• Identify at least 3 ways that provision of this approach helps adolescents with co-occurring disorders to<br />

achieve greater stability of emotions and behavior;<br />

• Discuss at least 4 potential evidence-based components of a comprehensive, integrated program for<br />

adolescents with co-occurring disorders.<br />
