Parenting a child who has experienced trauma

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHILD’S TRAUMA. SUPPORT YOUR CHILD’S HEALING, YOUR RELATIONSHIOPS WITH THEM AND YOUR FAMILY

Children who have experienced traumatic events need to feel safe and loved. All parents/caregivers want to provide this kind of secure environment for their children. However, when parents do not understand the impacts of trauma, they may misinterpret their child’ s behaviour and end up feeling frustrated or resentful.

This workshop will address the nature of trauma, its impact on children and their development, and ways you can help your child. By increasing your understanding of trauma and its impact on early brain development, you can help support your child’ s healing, and your relationships with them and your family.
