Each year in the United States, at least 5 million children are either victims of-or witnesses to abuse, violence, or other forms of psychological trauma. Clinicians & educators are increasingly expected to address the needs of these young victims, but there are many different views of exactly how trauma affects youth and, thus, how it is best treated. Clues for understanding and integrating trauma treatment approaches may be found in current neurobiological research, which continues to show trauma’s damaging effects some of which are temporary and some permanent on children’s brain development. Professionals who work with traumatized children are challenged to stay current with developments in many different fields, from neuroscience to non-traditional treatment approaches, in order to give each child the best hope for healing.

This workshop offers an understandable overview of the emerging neurodevelopmental and attachment-based perspectives on child trauma. This approach provides a unifying way of understanding and treating trauma using a variety of treatments based on the youth’s neurodevelopmental level and their current caregiver context. Participants will grasp what happens to the brain when a youth is severely traumatized and how to implement both traditional and non-traditional evidence-based interventions to treat traumatized youth. This workshop offers a user friendly means of presenting the sometimes intimidating information on neuroscientific research, which itself can be key to seeing improvement in even the most challenging cases.
