Course overview of Trauma And The Impact On Brain Development
This Trauma and the Impact on Brain Development course helps you understand adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and developmental trauma. It explores how trauma can affect brain development and provides guidance on how to support children who have experienced early-life trauma, promoting their emotional and behavioural wellbeing.
This course looks at trauma, its impact on brain development, and what this means for anyone working in a dynamic and healing way with children. Due to their early-life trauma, children who are looked after can have greater emotional and mental health needs, as well as more behavioural difficulties than most children.
Stability, security and strong relationships can help children and young people to develop and mature emotionally. These protective factors can repair some of the damage caused by early adversity and play a vital role in the healing process.
This course is suitable for people working in children’s services or residential childcare.
