The Effects of Trauma Across the Developmental Spectrum

ID: 5857WEB

A traumatic event has dramatic short and long term effects across all stages of human development. In this webinar we will examine these effects on infants, children, adolescents and adults, as well as explore the effects of trauma on the emotional, cognitive, neurological, physical, and spiritual human systems. The neurophysiological and neurochemical changes which result from traumatic events will be addressed as well. Practical skills and therapeutic interventions needed in helping both children and adults cope in the aftermath of trauma will be discussed. Both traditional and creative arts treatment approaches will be explored. [Required for Trauma Response & Crisis Intervention Certificate Program]
