Children who have experienced traumatic events in their past can have more emotional and mental health needs, as well as more behavioural difficulties than most children. Early life trauma impacts on their brain development. Understanding how this trauma impacts the development of the brain allows us to understand the resulting behaviours.

Stability, security and a good relationship can help children and young people to develop and mature emotionally and can repair some of the damage that has been done as well as be an integral part of the healing process.

This course will cover:

• What is trauma
• Adverse Childhood Experiences
• The impact of trauma on behaviour and learning
• Connecting with your own emotions

By the end of the training, you will;

• Know what trauma is
• Understand how trauma affects the brain
• Know what adverse childhood experiences are
• Know how you can best support young people with trauma in their history

This Understanding Trauma and the Impact on Young People course has been designed specifically for people who want to know about how trauma can impact behaviour and learning. Whilst it provides focus for people working in Education, it will also be useful to a wider audience of people who would like to know about the impact that trauma can have on young people.

We can deliver this course either: online, as a webinar, or as a face-to-face programme. If you have your own LMS and would like this course as a SCORM file, please get in touch.
