Understanding developmental trauma and responding to difficult behaviour

Nov 8 2023

Save

Build or deepen your understanding of the impacts of childhood neglect, abuse and harm on the developing brain, the nervous system and why we see difficult behaviours in those who have experienced early childhood adversity.

Learn to use a range of diagnostic tools to support yourself, your team and those around the child or young person to understand the impacts of developmental trauma, to understand how to create safety and rapport and where to begin in rebuilding a traumatised brain and nervous system.

Develop a range of skills and responses within your own practice through a hands-on two-day professional development experience where we travel with your client from early brain development to today.
