Prior to the pandemic, more than half of the population in the U.S. experienced at least one adverse childhood experience (ACEs or trauma) by adulthood. The collective trauma of a global pandemic shifts those numbers towards a public health crisis. Trauma limits development in areas including (but not limited to!) cognition, attachment, emotion regulation, physiological regulation, sensory processing, and motor abilities. Unfortunately, the impact of childhood trauma ripples across the lifespan, contributing to physical and mental health dilemmas in adulthood. Trauma can influence child engagement and success in daily occupations at home, school, and community and derail the effectiveness of educational, therapeutic, and medical intervention if services are not provided with a “trauma lens”. Are you ready to take a significant leap in your knowledge, beliefs, and actions with regards to trauma informed care?? Please join us! This conference will give providers foundational knowledge in trauma, neurobiology of trauma, and implications for behavior and participation in daily activities where children go to school, live, and play. Additionally, the speaker will empower participants with clear, evidence-based action steps for responding and intervening with clients and co-workers impacted by trauma. The conference will include speaker presentation, small group discussions, videos, case studies, and hands on practice in activities that providers can use when they return to work!
