About Course

Trauma in early developmental stages has an impact on a child’s brain and cognitive development, even increasing the risk for continued trauma down the road. We’ll discuss the impact trauma can have on brain/cognitive development, social and emotional development as well as academic achievements and identify ways as a foster parent you can support these youth through education and continued skills training. Although it will take time, research has shown that caregivers who are attentive to the needs of the child, model positive relationships, and are open to collaborating with other trauma-focused resources, can help these children/youth overcome adversity and promote healthier and improved outcomes for children and their families.

Presented by:  Jenie Christopher, MS, LPC

This training was really informative for adults caring for children that have passed through traumatic experiences to understand how to work with these children. Children experiences such traumatic experiences need a lot of help emotionally and physically.

it was a good training
This course allowed me to have a better understanding of what is classified as abuse and what is now known as neglect. It is important for caregivers to know the difference and when in doubt ask questions
