Description
Description:
This workshop will explore trauma along a child's developmental continuum. We will investigate how the effects of trauma can result not only from catastrophic events, but from commonplace events. At the core of this understanding is the unique way that trauma is imprinted on the body, brain and spirit. This workshop will demonstrate how trauma can be both prevented and resolved through play, art and sensory-motor activities. Participants will learn through combination of lectures, videos, case presentations and experiential activities.
Educational Objectives:
- Given a child's developmental continuum, describe how trauma is imprinted on the body, brain and spirit.
- To describe how trauma can be both prevented and resolved through play, art and sensory-motor activities.
