Supporting Young Children in the Face of Trauma

We often see children who are acting out, hurting others, endangering themselves, or displaying “odd” behaviors that don’t seem to make sense. This training is designed to provide participants with a general knowledge of signs and symptoms that are often associated with trauma. A broad overview of the types of traumatic events that effect children are reviewed. It is the goal that trainees walk away with a better understanding of the complex nature of trauma and the way it can affect a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development as well as brain functioning.
