Understanding the interplay between neurobiology, attachment, trauma and mental health
Explore the key theories and conceptual interplay between neurobiology, trauma, attachment, and mental health and how this knowledge can be integrated into practice.
This session provides a definition of neurobiology, trauma and attachment theories. It also delivers an understanding of the correlation and integration of these, as they relate to emotional and behavioural issues in children and adolescents with a mental health diagnosis.
A clear understanding of the impact of complex relational trauma will be emphasised as central to understanding this interplay of theory.
Within the workshop there are multiple points of conceptual integration, which is important when assessing, formulating and providing therapeutic clinical assessment and intervention to children.
