https://youtu.be/FZ7vbD7aDFgINTRODUCTION

When children are focused on dealing with threats that they see either outside themselves or inside themselves, it gets in the way of learning something new. To overcome trauma, children need help feeling safe with themselves and with others.

This training reviews current research about the effects of trauma, and organizes its impact along four aspects of development — physical, cognitive, social, and emotional. It then provides examples and suggestions about how to respond in ways that promote growth and healthy relationships.
