Many children experience trauma in their lives. How we support them has a profound effect on their potential for optimal development. In this workshop, we will explore common triggers, discuss how to create a culture of welcome and identify ways to implement the creative process effectively. We will discuss early brain development and how trauma impacts the brain, and explore case studies with discussion in small groups
Objectives:
- To be able to identify some common trauma triggers.
- To know some creative process strategies to respond to children presenting trauma.
- To understand more about early brain development and how it impacts the ability to process trauma effectively.
*Suitable for ECE students, parents, instructors and administrators; and all early learning child care professionals working with children of any age including children with extra support needs.
