What you'll learn

Learners will review the three categories of trauma and the definition of trauma from “Understanding Trauma: The Basics”.

Learners will take a deeper look into the neurobiology of a survival response specific to children.

Learners will take a deeper look into the three neurological self-protective responses and the behavioral responses that come from these in children.

Learners will gain tools to use when working with children who are in a self-protective response in immediate need or chronically.

Requirements

Understanding Trauma: The basics

Description

Have you ever wonder what might be different in the ways children and adults respond to traumatic event or pervasive stress? Or have you have ever been challenged to make sense of "problem behavior" in children? You may have just landed in the right place to help answer those questions. In Understanding Trauma: The Impact on Children, learners will take a deeper dive into the impact of trauma on children both neurologically and behaviorally. The instructor then ties together the meaning of unmet needs, how they come to be, the threat response system, and self-protective defenses. This specifically ties into the behavioral responses that children express when in a stress or threat response. Finally, tools are offered to learners to support children when children are in a stress or survival system. Learners will gain an understanding of the role of connection and protection on the well-being in children.This course is built on Understanding Trauma: The Basics which providers an understanding of the impact of trauma on the body and mind. While the initial training (Understanding Trauma: The Basics) addresses general information, the instructor discusses the specific impact of trauma on children and the ways stress might play out behaviorally in children.
