ABOUT:
This workshop will discuss impacts of trauma on
child development, with a particular focus on children ages 0-5
and their families. Cultural contexts of development and trauma (i.e. historical trauma) will be considered and participants will be encouraged to evaluate how their own views and biases may shape their conceptualizations. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and trauma will be discussed and distinguished. Finally, participants will learn strategies for recognizing, assessing, and working with young children and families affected by trauma.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1) Define and distinguish types of stressful and/or traumatic experiences; 2) Understand basic early brain development concepts and how trauma impacts these processes; 3) Identify the role of protective factors in fostering resilience among young children who experience trauma; 4) Recognize and explain assessment/treatment options for trauma.
