Back to: Young Children – Addressing the Impact of Trauma – Online Training

INTRODUCTION

Young children who have been traumatized are frequently too anxious or fearful to engage in the healthy exploration that leads to mastery and satisfaction.

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.
