Date: April 5th, 2024
Time: 9am - 10am CST/10am - 11am EST
Description:
Children who suffer from child traumatic stress are those who have been exposed to one or more traumas over the course of their lives and develop lingering effects that persist and affect them daily even after the events have ended. Infant and toddler caregivers as well as educators can support young children who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing trauma through a trauma-responsive, healing centered approach. This approach recognizes and responds by increasing trauma awareness, knowledge, and skills and how to incorporate these into programming and policies.
