Children and adolescents who have experienced trauma have unique brain wiring and are often at a mixture of developmental ages. Typical consequence-based behavioral strategies are often not effective and can lead to further trauma as well as impacting the relationship between the adults and children/adolescents. Participants will learn new approaches to use with children and adolescents who have trauma histories which will help to understand the youth and improve communication and relationships. The strategies we will cover are recommended for in-utero trauma such as FASD and also for trauma children may have experienced after birth. We will specifically cover the Big 3; lying, stealing and raging.
