Facilitator: Janine Lawford, MSW., RSW.
This training is suitable for: Child and youth workers, nurses, early childhood educators, child protection workers and other social service counsellors who provide counselling and support to children and adolescents in community-based settings.
This workshop will explore the background of how trauma impacts children and families and how best to work with these clients to identify myriad traumatic responses and encourage healing in the family system. By the end of this workshop participants will be able to recognize the effects of trauma in children and adolescents, understand the many manifestations of complex developmental trauma and how to incorporate this understanding into their work. Ms. Lawford will provide strategies to assist in the stabilization and support of youth with traumatic histories as well as steps in how to use relationship in order to promote healing in traumatized children.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the effects of trauma in children and adolescents
- Understand the many manifestations of complex developmental trauma and how to incorporate this understanding into front-line work with clients
- Develop strategies to assist in the stabilization and support of youth with traumatic histories
- Use relationship in order to promote healing in traumatized children
Would really like if this was available through webinar. I am unable to attend in person, but feel that this information would be very useful for me.
Thank you so much Sarah Doyle for your comment. I agree this is a great workshop for those that work with children, youth and families. I will pass your request along to the facilitator to have her consider if her workshop would lend itself to a webinar for her next session with us this Fall.
