Alison Salloum, PhD, LCSW is a Professor at the University of South Florida, School of Social Work. She received her MSW and PhD from Tulane University School of Social Work. She has extensive clinical experience providing treatment for children and families who have experienced traumatic events. Her research focuses on implementation of trauma-related evidence-based treatments; service delivery methods to address treatment barriers for children and their families; childhood trauma, loss, and anxiety; and ways to support helping professionals so that they may serve others effectively. She developed and investigated a grief and trauma intervention (GTI) for children experiencing trauma and loss that is listed on the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare. Based on this work, she is the author of Grief and Trauma in Children: An Evidence-Based Treatment Manual (Routledge, 2015). She has been awarded two National of Institute of Mental Health grants (R34 and R01) to develop and test a stepped care intervention for children after trauma which incorporates a parent-led therapist-assisted first line treatment within a stepped care intervention. The intervention called Stepped Care CBT for Children after Trauma is now being tested in Norway. Dr. Salloum has presented trainings nationally and internationally to help clinicians working with children who suffer from grief and trauma and is the author of numerous publications regarding childhood trauma.
