Notice reference #: 1HAgtY

In almost every early childhood center and school across the country, there are children who have experienced trauma or who will, during their early years’ experience traumatic events. Research suggests that 70 percent of children endure three or more adverse childhood experiences by the time they reach 6 years old. The high prevalence of trauma and the potential magnitude of its effects underscore a critical mandate for early childhood teachers to identify and implement strategies for supporting the healthy development of children who are victims of trauma.

At the end of this workshop, you will:

understand the impact of trauma on children’s learning and socio-emotional development.
understand the impact that dealing with trauma has on teachers.
understand the importance of a positive alliance between teachers and parents in which staff recognise family strengths.
understand teaching strategies to deal with children who have experienced trauma.
