Children who have experienced trauma often express their distress through behaviour. Understanding developmental trauma is essential for carers, as it provides insight into how early experiences shape brain development, emotional regulation, and behaviour. This course equips carers with practical, trauma-informed strategies to respond with empathy, confidence, and consistency.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how early trauma impacts brain development and emotional regulation
- Recognise behaviours that may reflect underlying trauma
- Apply trauma-informed strategies to support children and young people effectively
- Respond to challenging behaviours with empathy and consistency
- Build confidence in supporting children’s healing and resilience
