Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) ARC Trauma Treatment — a Transformative Approach to Changing Children’s Lives for Good…
When kids are faced with overwhelming stress and childhood adversity day-after-day, they adapt to their environment. Their behavior and attention problems may prompt their arrival in treatment, but when you start to dig deeper, you find they are simply stuck in survival mode — the hallmark of complex developmental trauma.
Where do you go from here?
Co-developed by Dr. Margaret Blaustein, ARC is a framework that is clinically-proven to enhance trauma treatment with children and adolescents, and has been hailed as, “a landmark for understanding and treating traumatized children” by world renowned trauma expert, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk.
Now, you can get a comprehensive training on ARC, created by ARC co-developer, Dr. Blaustein, through this online certificate course and revolutionize your trauma treatment approach.
Enroll today and learn how to integrate ARC’s sequential, developmentally-appropriate framework to address trauma with both the child and caregiver system, and create a supportive environment for healthy development and healing of complex trauma.
You’ll gain customizable tools and strategies that build self-regulation and resilience, strengthen child and caregiver relationships, fill developmental gaps, and restore their capacity for curiosity, engagement and authentic response in the moment.
Session 1: Introduction to ARC — A Comprehensive Approach to Trauma Treatment for Kids and Caregivers
The ultimate-goal of ARC is healing complex trauma in a way that helps kids authentically engage in their lives in the present moment. It begins with the open-ended question — What about this child’s behavior makes sense? From that point forward, the ARC framework supports the goal of Trauma Experience Integration (TEI) — the progressive development of a child’s capacity to tolerate moments of distress, make meaning about those experiences, and integrate them in a way that positively informs present experience. This session introduces you to the building blocks of the ARC framework and their purpose in the context of treating children with a history of complex trauma. You’ll explore:
Session 2: Engagement, Education, Rhythm and Routine — ARC’s Unifying Strategies, How to Use Them and When
All healing progress requires engagement — that’s a core principle of ARC’s approach. And successful engagement requires awareness, pacing, and attunement to the client’s state. This session will enhance your understanding of how to intervene effectively when the client is triggered or in survival mode, recognize and tap into curiosity and reflection to make the most of readiness for present action. You’ll learn:
Session 3: Healing Wounds of Attachment — Key Strategies for Successfully Engaging Caregivers
Attachment is the first pillar in the ARC attachment, regulation, competency framework. No one is better placed to strengthen attachment bonds than a primary caregiver. That’s why engaging a child’s caregiving system,—parents and professionals,—is a primary focus of ARC’s trauma treatment framework. Once engaged, caregivers can be supported in understanding a child’s triggers and reactions, managing their own emotional responses, and practicing self-care. You’ll learn how to:
Session 4: A Step-by-Step Guide to Enhancing Attunement
It’s an ARC foundational principle that effective caregiver attunement is the key to youth self-regulation. But understanding a child’s difficult behaviors is seldom a straightforward proposition. Actions can mask unmet needs or unregulated affect and they can trigger an emotional response in others that further obscures what’s going on. This session zeroes in on everything you need to support primary caregivers and professionals in the effective practice of attunement to accurately and empathically understand and respond to a child’s actions, communications, needs, and feelings. It covers helping caregivers:
Session 5: Mastering Effective Response — the Key to Creating a Sense of Safety for Traumatized Children
Safety is a baseline requirement for making progress with children and adolescents who have a history of complex trauma. And that sense of safety needs to extend beyond therapy to the home and the classroom. The goal on all fronts is responding to a child’s behavior in a way that is regulated, predictable, and sensitive to the influence past experiences have on a child’s current behaviors. In this session, you’ll learn:
Session 6: Regulation — the Ultimate Goal and an Ongoing Process for Traumatized Children
Regulation — the second pillar in the ARC attachment, regulation, competency framework is, by its very nature, complicated. It requires the capacity to identify and access feelings, the resources to manage the experience on many levels — emotional, physiological, cognitive, and behavioral — and the language to talk about what’s unfolding. When there’s a history of complex trauma, a child’s journey to self-regulation is one of many small steps. The first include awareness, naming, and understanding the context of inner experiences. In this session, you’ll discover:
Session 7: Modulation — the Second Milestone on the Road to Self-Regulation
Once a child has achieved basic awareness of internal states, ARC shifts focus to strengthening the ability to discern changes in feeling and make qualitative assessments of internal states such as comfortable, dangerous, and tolerable. As therapist and child experiment with different activities and track effects, the child experiences a sense of agency and control. In this resource-rich session, you’ll discover:
Session 8: Bringing the Process Home — Supporting Competency, Connection and the Ability to Act in the Present Moment
How do you help children with a history of complex trauma build the skills and tolerance for sharing their internal experiences? How do you support their ability to connect effectively, to set goals, make active choices, and develop a resilient sense of self? All of these are possible as part of developing competency — the third pillar in the ARC attachment, regulation, competency framework. In this final session, you’ll learn:
