sexual abuse or violence

Understanding the impact of trauma on development, identity and behaviours is imperative when providing support.  This training, Trauma Informed Care: Supporting Individuals with Developmental Disabilities will explore the neurobiology of trauma and its impact on those with a developmental disability and/or mental health problems.  It will offer a reframing of behaviours through a trauma-informed lens.  Participants will walk away with a toolbox filled with strategies to best suited for supporting individuals using evidenced-based strategies.

This workshop will explore ideas about challenging behaviour among children and young persons in care. Direct care staff, such as child and youth care practitioners, group home staff and foster carers may observe conduct which is resistant to traditional behaviour management techniques. A young person with complex trauma may present with a variety of issues (anxiety, aggression, self-harm, & suicidality, etc.) and with multiple diagnoses (i.e., conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, anxiety).

Most often parents, teachers, childcare professionals, foster resource parents and healthcare professionals are the ones who identify sexualized behaviour in the pre-school and school aged child. They may struggle due to lack of understanding of normative sexual development and further confounded by issues surrounding these behaviours including the influence of culture and media on “acceptable” behaviour. Making a determination as to the necessity of clinical intervention, or making a report to child welfare, requires understanding of a number of criteria.
