This presentation will focus on the age range of 0 to 5 and how you can support caregivers regarding challenging behaviors from their young children. Specific developmental considerations will be discussed as well as current terms for how these problems may be labeled (e.g., PTSD, developmental trauma disorder, etc.). Strong emphasis will be placed on myths (e.g., when a parent is told, “your child has reactive attachment and they can’t get better from that”) versus facts (e.g., how traumatic stress impacts early childhood development) for this age range. Additionally, concrete tools and resources (e.g., specific treatments) to support caregivers of these children will be discussed.
This training will provide an overview of both historical and current day racial trauma, including how they affect child and family outcomes. Participants will engage in in-depth discussion about specific experiences that are shared by entire communities and that can result in cumulative emotional and psychological wounds that are carried across generations. An in-depth discussion about historical events as the root of multigenerational trauma also will be a part of the training.

Vicarious Trauma is a common topic for the helping community. Join us, with presenters from Be Strong Families, to explore its counterpart: Vicarious Resilience. How has other people’s trauma helped us become the people we are? What beauty did trauma assist in uncovering? Together, we will discover how we gain strength, perspective, and energy for our journeys through other people’s experiences.
We will also hear from the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) and the Children’s Trust Fund Alliance about new resources and opportunities.
