Working with Traumatized Children (Virtual Training)

The Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) is pleased to present the three-part virtual training series that features the publication Working with Traumatized Children – A Handbook for Healing.

• Define what trauma is and differentiate it from stress
• Provide examples of trauma symptoms in children and adults
• Describe how trauma can impact children’s brains
• Advocate for the provision of safe environments when working with children and adults who have been affected by trauma
• Provide examples of how systems can be traumatizing or retraumatize people
• Explain the importance of understanding the vagus nerve when working with families and children who have been affected by trauma
