Helping Parents Manage Children’s Behavioral, Mental Health, and Disability Needs

Beyond the Jargon: Understanding the Impacts of Child Abuse and Trauma

In this episode of Beyond the Jargon, Karen talks with Dr. Heather J. Risser, Director of the Family CARE Parenting Lab and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, about her work to partner with parents and community providers to find gaps in service access and service delivery, and to design intervention strategies to address those gaps by building parent capacity to meet their children’s needs and overcome barriers to treatment.
