CWLA is pleased to present the three-part virtual training series that features our CWLA Press publication Working with Traumatized Children – A Handbook for Healing, Third Edition. The latest edition of Working with Traumatized Children now features new strategies and approaches for caregivers and others responsible for meeting the needs of children who are vulnerable.

  2. Provide examples of trauma symptoms in children and adults
  3. Describe how trauma can impact children’s brains
  4. Advocate for the provision of safe environments when working with children and adults who have been affected by trauma
  5. Provide examples of how systems can be traumatizing or retraumatize people
  6. Explain the importance of understanding the vagus nerve when working with families and children who have been affected by trauma
  7. Express why self-reflective practices and supervision are important when working with this population
