Learning Circle: The Impact of Trauma on Children and Youth (4/24/24)
Activity description
These materials are ONLY intended for those that have viewed the activity, The Impact of Trauma on Children and Youth: A Paradigm Shift. Credit should be claimed after completing the Learning Circle.
Early childhood ruptured attachments, adversity and trauma experiences have significant impacts on health, development and well-being throughout the lifespan. Understanding these impacts and learning care strategies that can enhance professionals’ and caregivers’ abilities to prevent or mitigate these impacts can reduce the incidence of health crises and improve overall well-being and quality of life. Participants will learn the fundamentals of attachment patterns, developmental trauma and associated behaviors and will discuss strategies for working with traumatized children and supporting parents and caregivers.
This Learning Circle will provide examples of the impact of trauma on a child’s brain and behavior and focus on the application of effective trauma and attachment strategies for working with children and youth.
