Program Description
After attending the “Trauma Informed Practice for Mental Health Professionals Working with Children and Adolescents” training, many participants were asking for more. Participants were wanting more interventions to utilize with this population. This course will specifically focus on interventions that can be applied in trauma-focused work with children, adolescents, and families. All participants will be required to have first attended the Trauma Informed Practice training–thus they are able to conceptualize trauma informed practice. The join us to dive into expressive/play-based therapy approaches.
We will review how trauma effects development including brain development and how this presents both emotionally and behaviorally. We will further discuss how it effects the family system as well as external systems in which the child is part. We will discuss and engage in interventions that can be applied in direct clinical work in a trauma-informed way.
We will continue to discuss how to specifically set up your therapy space and interventions to always be trauma sensitive.
