The Child and Adolescent Trauma Screen (CATS) is a brief, evidence-based screening tool used to assess exposure to potentially traumatic events and the presence of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in children and adolescents.
It is based on the diagnostic criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders – Fifth Edition (DSM-5) and is commonly used to identify whether a child may be experiencing clinically significant trauma symptoms.
The CATS is completed in a 50-minute in-clinic session with a psychologist.
This combined approach allows for a well-rounded understanding of the child’s experiences and symptoms.
Our clinic provides psychological assessments and personalised treatment plans to support your child's needs. Our experienced psychologists gather detailed information to explore diagnoses and deliver effective interventions.
Each assessment results in a comprehensive report with background information, medical history, observations, and practical recommendations.
Our treatment plans address specific challenges and promote overall well-being.
