Description
Complex Trauma Among Pediatric Populations
Complex trauma involves chronic, prolonged, and repeated exposure to traumatic situations and events that often escalate over time. It typically occurs early in life during times of critical development within the caregiver and family system. When such instances occur, this can result in wide-ranging, and long-term neurological, developmental, psychological, social, and physical health challenges. Designed for pediatric therapists and other professionals, this 2-hour webinar provides attendees with a working overview of the causes and consequences associated with complex trauma among pediatric populations. Practical tips, strategies, and solutions are shared to improve treatment, intervention, goal planning, and screening practices. Empirically based research findings and case studies are highlighted.
