Innovative Approaches to Resilience-Building & Trauma-Informed Youth Interactions Webinar
Description
National data indicate that over 60% of children experience a traumatic event by the age of 16, and more than 30% encounter multiple traumatic events. Extensive research demonstrates that early life stressors can lead to long-lasting brain dysfunction, which can adversely affect health and overall quality of life across the lifespan. In recent years, there has been a notable rise in depression and anxiety among youth, both of which are linked to heightened stress responses. However, the presence of protective factors—such as a supportive adult or environment—can serve as a powerful buffer against the intense stress and anxiety that may result from ongoing adversity and trauma.
This course will begin with an overview of the fundamentals of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their impact on child development. It will then deepen practitioners' understanding of resilience and protective factors, offering trauma-informed strategies for effectively engaging with youth.
