Competencies The foster parent knows how to assist in treatment of children with mental health or behavioral disorders, including discussion of feelings and concerns, problem solving, empathic listening, behavior management, de-escalation, sanctioned physical restraint, and assault prevention. The foster parent understands the counseling process, including relationship building, assessment, diagnosis and treatment, and can work with the child's therapist. 3

Slide 7-

Diagnosing Psychological and/or psychiatric evaluation Use Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-5) Disorders listed under main categories Arranged across the lifespan Take into consideration cultural context Identify frequency and intensity of emotions and behaviors Do emotions/behaviors impair functioning? Working, playing, loving, expecting well (Garmezy, 1991) 7
Slide 8-

Biopsychosocial Model Temperamental Easy, difficult, slow to warm up (Chess & Thomas, 1991) Environmental Family dynamics, parenting styles, larger social systems, adverse life stressors Genetic and physiological Predispositions Physical health (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 8
Slide 9-

Resilience Nature and nurture are intertwined Internal and external risk and assets combine 40 developmental assets Search Institute http://www.search-institute.org/developmental-assets/lists Resilience is a dynamic process encompassing positive adaptation within the context of significant adversity (Henderson, 2003) 9
Slide 10-

Childhood Mental Health and Treatment Results from National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) Half of children with mental health issues (50.6 percent) were not receiving treatment View the video to learn about the results of the survey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOrR6CpRLCw Children/adolescents with mental health issues need advocates to ensure that the right type of treatment is received, and that it is of sufficient frequency and duration to meet their needs! All team members must be advocates 10

Team Approach to Treatment Resource parents Birth parents Caseworker Pediatrician Psychologist and/or psychiatrist Therapist Educators Speech and language therapist Occupational therapist Physical therapist 11
Slide 12-

Collaborating as a Team Member All members play an important role in gathering and sharing information on the strengths, challenges, needs, and underlying issues All members’ perspectives and voices need to be heard in the change process to meet common goals All members must be culturally aware and responsive to the child and family needs All members are treated with dignity and respect 12

Neurodevelopmental Disorders Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) 14
Slide 15-

ASD: Symptoms Social communication and social interaction deficits Social-emotional reciprocity Nonverbal communication behaviors used for social interaction Developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships Restricted, repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities Stereotyped or repetitive movements, use of objects, or speech Insistence on sameness Fixated interests Hyper- or hypo-reactivity to sensory input (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 15
Slide 16-

ASD: Rates and Risks 1 percent of child/adolescent population Male to female ration of 4:1 Environmental Advanced parental age Fetal exposure to toxins Genetic 15 percent of cases associated with genetic mutations Multiple genes most likely involved (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 16
Slide 17-

ASD: Assessment and Treatment Pediatricians are now using screening tools for ASD as early as 9 months to 24 months No known “standard” of treatment Combination of behavioral therapy, educational interventions and, when warranted, medication to treat specific symptoms such as sleeping difficulties or anxiety 17
Slide 18-

ASD: Interventions Ensure that IFSP/IEP recommendations are followed Consult with occupational therapist for sensory integration issues Provide structure and routines Provide transition cues Use perseveration as a motivator Don’t ask child to look and listen simultaneously Use visual icons; many children with ASD think in pictures Explain figures of speech; don’t use sarcasm 18
Slide 19-

ADHD: Symptoms Primary feature is a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development Present before age 12 and manifests in two or more settings Three subtypes within the disorder Predominantly Inattentive Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive Combined (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) View the video and identify the signs of ADHD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgCL79Jv0lc 19
Slide 20-

ADHD: Prevalence and Risk 5 percent of children/adolescents diagnosed with ADHD Girls most commonly diagnosed with inattentive subtype Environmental Low birth weight History of maltreatment or multiple foster placements, drinking/smoking/toxin exposure (lead) during pregnancy Genetic Higher in first-degree relatives (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 20
Slide 21-

ADHD: Assessment and Treatment Psychologists and psychiatrists use a number of tools Parent or primary caregiver interview Child interview Connors Rating Scales completed by the primary caregiver(s) and teachers Treatment Individual/parent counseling Academic accommodations Cognitive behavioral therapy Social skills training Medication (stimulants, antidepressants) 21
Slide 22-

ADHD: Interventions I Inattention Only give one direction at a time and only when in direct proximity with the child Develop self-talk messages (“Get back on track!”) Hyperactivity Provide structured physical activity Provide transition cues Cue to use calming techniques Soup breathing (inhale 3 seconds/exhale 6 seconds) Tactile objects (touch a soft object) Centering (brings knees to chest) 22
Slide 23-

ADHD: Interventions II Impulsive Create think and do plans (think aloud) Organization Use color, pictures and apps for routines Say, “You’re off track! What do you need to be doing?” Get dressed Eat breakfast Pack up for the bus 23
Slide 24-

Affective Disorders and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) Anxiety disorders Separation anxiety Social anxiety Posttraumatic Stress Disorder 24
Slide 25-

Depression: Symptoms Decreased interest in activities; or inability to enjoy previously favorite activities Hopelessness Persistent boredom; low energy Social isolation, poor communication Low self-esteem and guilt Extreme sensitivity to rejection or failure Increased irritability, anger, or hostility Difficulty with relationships Frequent complaints of physical illnesses Frequent absences from school or poor performance in school Poor concentration A major change in eating and/or sleeping patterns Talk of or efforts to run away from home Thoughts or expressions of suicide or self-destructive behavior (AACAP, 2013) 25
Slide 26-

Depression: Recognize the Signs Please watch the video Day for Night and identify how the adolescents describe the signs of depression http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLxFSiKXYko 26
Slide 27-

Depression: Prevalence and Risk Major depression strikes 8 percent of youth ages 12 and older More girls than boys in adolescence; equal rates in childhood Three risk factors Temperament (negative affectivity) Environmental (adverse childhood experiences, particularly multiple experiences) Genetic (two to four higher likelihood if first degree relative has depression) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 27
Slide 28-

Depression: Assessment and Treatment Psychological and/or psychiatric evaluation needed Screening tools Child Behavior Checklist Beck Inventory Comprehensive treatment often includes both individual, family therapy, and medication Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) are forms of individual therapy Antidepressant medication (SSRIs) most commonly prescribed Paxil, Zoloft, and Prozac are most commonly used Consult doctor if medication side effects occur Medication dosage must be tapered off to avoid negative effects of abruptly stopping the medication 28
Slide 29-

Warning Signs for Suicide Talking about suicide Getting the means to commit suicide Withdrawing from social contact Having mood swings Preoccupation with death, dying or violence Feeling trapped or hopeless about a situation Increased use of alcohol or drugs Changes in eating or sleeping patterns Risky or self-destructive behaviors Giving away belongings Saying goodbye to people as if they won't be seen again (Mayo Clinic, 2012) 29
Slide 30-

Anxiety Disorders: Common Threads Excessive fear (emotional response to real or perceived imminent threat) Anxiety (anticipation of future threat) Behavioral responses (fight, flight, freeze) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 30
Slide 31-

Anxiety Disorders: Prevalence and Risk Separation Anxiety Range of 2.8 percent to 8 percent Environmental Often develops after a life stress, especially loss Parental overprotection Genetic Much greater risk in first-degree relatives Exact rates unknown Social Anxiety 7 percent Temperamental Fear of negative evaluation Environmental Maltreatment Modeling by parent Genetic 2-6 times greater chance in first-degree relatives (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 31
Slide 32-

Separation Anxiety: Symptoms Excessive distress when anticipating or experiencing separation from home or from attachment figures Excessive worry about Losing attachment figures or possible harm to them Experiencing an untoward event that causes separation from attachment figures Being alone or without attachment figures Reluctance or refusal to go out, away from home, to school Reluctance or refusal to sleep alone Nightmares with them of separation Repeated complaints of physical symptoms (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 32
Slide 33-

Social Anxiety: Symptoms Fear or anxiety about social situations with peers and adults (conversations, meeting people, performance in front others, being observed) Fears of being negatively evaluated by others Expressed in children through crying, tantrums, freezing, clinging, or failing to speak in social situations Social situations are avoided or endured with intense fear or anxiety Lasting for six months or more (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 33
Slide 34-

Anxiety Disorders: Assessment and Treatment Assessment Comprehensive evaluation by a psychologist and/or psychiatrist Sometimes use self-report measures completed by both the parent and child (if the child is old enough to self report on symptoms) Treatment Cognitive behavioral therapy Medication (antianxiety and antidepressant) View video on combination of treatment approaches http://www.webmd.com/balance/video/too-scared-social-anxiety-disorder 34
Slide 35-

Anxiety Disorders: Interventions Empathize with your child’s feelings Stay calm when he becomes anxious about a situation or event Recognize and praise her small accomplishments in handling anxiety and fear Don’t punish mistakes or lack of progress Be flexible and try to maintain a normal routine Modify expectations during stressful periods Plan for transitions (i.e. allow extra time in the morning if getting to school is difficult) (Anxiety and Depression Association in America, 2013) 35
Slide 36-

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Symptoms and Interventions Intrusion symptoms Avoidance of stimuli associated with trauma Changes in cognitions and mood Marked changes in arousal and reactivity Play therapy Art therapy Trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy 36
Slide 37-

Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) Conduct Disorder (CD) 37
Slide 38-

ODD: Symptoms Angry/irritable mood Often loses temper Is often touchy or easily annoyed Is often angry and resentful Argumentative/defiant behavior Argues with adults Defies or refuses to comply with requests or rules Deliberately annoys others Blames others for mistakes Vindictiveness/spiteful At least four symptoms; symptoms present at least 6 months (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 38
Slide 39-

ODD: Prevalence and Risk Rates range from 1 percent to 11 percent, with an average prevalence of 3.3 percent More prevalent in families where child care is disrupted by a succession of different caregivers More prevalent in families in which harsh, inconsistent, or neglectful child-rearing practices are used (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 39
Slide 40-

ODD: Assessment and Treatment Assessment No single test that can diagnose Psychiatrist interviews parent and child to determine if the behaviors meet the criteria for a diagnosis of ODD Treatment Family therapy to build positive family interactions Parenting skills training Social skills training for the child Conflict resolution and anger management skills for the child Possibly medications to treat related mental health conditions, such as ADHD (AACAP, 2013) 40
Slide 41-

ODD: Interventions Forced choice Shirt or pants first. Your choice. Shower or bath. Your choice Meat or potatoes. Your choice Picking the “hills” to die on Basket A (high priority; must be dealt with immediately) Basket B (high priority; can be dealt with later) Basket C (low priority; do you really want to go there?) Positive reinforcement for delaying gratification I noticed that…. I see that... (not I like how…) (Greene, 2010) 41
Slide 42-

CD: Symptoms Pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or societal norms and rules are violated Behaviors fall into four categories Aggression to people/animals Destruction of property Deceitfulness or theft Serious violation of rules (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 42
Slide 43-

CD: Subtypes Three subtypes Childhood onset (prior to age 10) Adolescent subtype (no symptoms prior to age 10) Unspecified (not enough information to determine onset) Code added if symptoms reflect limited prosocial emotions Lack of remorse, empathy, concern about performance, or affect (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 43
Slide 44-

CD: Prevalence and Risk Range of 2 percent to 10 percent; more boys than girls Temperament Difficult temperament; lower than average IQ Environment Neglect, abuse, frequent change in caregivers Inconsistent, harsh discipline Lack of supervision, parental criminality or substance abuse Association with gangs and delinquent peer group Genetics Family history of depressive disorders, bipolar, ADHD, CD Slower resting heart rate (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) 44
Slide 45-

CD: Assessment and Treatment Assessment Psychological and/or psychiatric evaluation Child Behavior Checklist Treatment Family therapy Cognitive behavioral therapy Anger management No specific type of medication for CD Medications used to treat co-existing conditions, such as depression, ADHD, or anxiety (AACAP, 2013) 45
Slide 46-

CD: Interventions I If child is capable of feeling empathy for others and remorse after violating the rights of others: Build anger management skills Trigger, correct interpretation, head talk/cool talk, calming techniques, problem solving skills Correct attribution bias (view of intent in interactions) Was it on purpose or accidental? Promote making amends when rights of others are violated Use logical consequences for stealing or destruction of property (reparations) 46
Slide 47-

CD: Interventions II If child is not capable of feeling empathy for others and remorse after violating the rights of others: Clearly state the misbehavior, don’t ask why (will probably only lie to you), state the consequence, end the conversation It will take extended time in therapy to help the child develop empathy for others For a few adolescents, empathy never develops and they are at risk for the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder in adulthood 47
