PurposeChildren who experience maltreatment are at high risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) can facilitate access to treatment following maltreatment allegations. We describe PTSD symptoms and intervention decision-making for children served by CACs.MethodsChildren served by CACs in a single state were screened for PTSD symptoms using a structured mental health screening/referral protocol. CAC staff used an electronic form that provided guidance for decision-making. We examined descriptive statistics for PTSD symptoms and risk and tested associations between child characteristics and symptoms. We described CAC staff’s delivery of brief interventions and referral decisions and tested associations with child characteristics and symptoms.ResultsTwo thousand and three hundred fifty children completed screening between 2018 and 2020. Almost half (45.5%) exhibited traumatic stress symptoms suggesting high probability of PTSD at the time of their CAC visit. Children who identified as female or transgender male and older children were more likely to be at high risk for PTSD. Brief interventions were delivered to 66% of children, and most were referred to evidence-based trauma treatment (53.1%) or community mental health services (39.0%). Categorization as moderate or high PTSD risk was associated with a higher likelihood of brief intervention delivery and referral to trauma treatment.ConclusionMany children served by CACs are likely to meet criteria for PTSD at their initial visit. CAC staff demonstrated the ability to deliver brief interventions and make referrals to mental health treatment. Use of structured screening/referral protocols may improve early identification and treatment access for children experiencing PTSD symptoms.

In sports, players had differences in psychological training principles, sports characteristics, and personal athletic ability due to differences in sports plans. At the same time, the winning and losing rules of various competitions would also limit the psychological training and tactical ability of players. The current problem with mental training for athletes was that it is impossible to accurately understand the mentality of athletes and make a reasonable adjustment plan. Therefore, this paper adopted a machine learning algorithm and used the methods of psychological testing and questionnaire research to carry out extensive research on the training and regulation of remote sports psychology. The possible psychological barriers and adjustment methods of athletes are supplemented, focusing on the comparison of four aspects: psychological endurance before training, control accuracy, anxiety score before psychological training, and the effects of before and after adjustment. And after in-depth research on the problem of athletes’ psychological training, the conclusion showed that the psychological tolerance value of athletes has increased by 18.9%, the accuracy of control of athletes’ psychological problems had increased by 13%, the psychological anxiety of students had also been alleviated and improved, and the overall score had increased by 12.5%. A more systematic mental training program for athletes was introduced in order to provide a basis for improving the effectiveness of mental training for athletes.
