How to Use the Toolkit
-
Start here to begin assessment of all 4 core stressors (Traumatic Stress, Resettlement Stress, Acculturation Stress, Isolation Stress) OR choose which core stressor you would like to assess
Trauma
Acculturation
Resettlement
Isolation
-
The toolkit will provide you with information about each core stressor, including a list of sample questions. These sample questions are not intended as a substitute for clinical judgment. For more information about detailed trauma specific and mental health assessment measures see the NCTSN Measures Review Database and the National Center for PTSD.
- Based on your assessment of the child and/or family you will be guided to select a risk level. Your selection will generate a list of suggested interventions and resources. Continue following the toolkit through each stressor to generate a comprehensive intervention profile. To skip to this step, and proceed to Individualized Assessment Grid click here.
