Summary
Our overarching mission is to contribute to the health, development, and welfare of children and adolescents impacted by complex developmental trauma. SMART was developed as a mental health treatment modality for application in a range of trauma-informed treatment settings. With this goal in mind:
- We trust that ethical therapists and clinicians and the agencies for which they work also endeavor to support healing and growth to the best of their ability, and maintain ethical practice in regards to their clients and in their collaboration with us.
- We support dissemination of the general aims, ideas, and goals of SMART to caregivers and their children, and to agencies and organizations with the same goals, in the interest of healing and growth.
With this common understanding, we request that participants in our training
maintain respect for the intellectual property of SMARTmoves Partners, and for
confidentiality of trainers, fellow trainees, and persons in clinical video.
