THE PRESENTATION AND IMPACT OF TRAUMA ON CHILDREN IN VARIOUS DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES- WHAT MIGHT IT LOOK LIKE AND HOW CAN WE RESPOND?
Join CornerHouse therapists for a presentation on child development and how what we expect at different ages could be impacted by experiences of abuse and trauma. Brush up on your knowledge of expected child development during key stages while learning how those expected behaviors and abilities may change or look when a child has experienced and/or witnessed sexual abuse, physical abuse, or domestic violence. And don’t fret if you’re wondering, “Ok, and what do I do if I’m noticing these in a child?” We’ll discuss some key ways you can respond and intervene, as well as recommendations for when/how to seek additional help from mental health service providers.
