Understanding and Working with Children Who Have Experienced Trauma

Description

Please join us for the first annual Child Youth Forum in Grundy County. When working with children, a common frustration is helping families and children manage "negative" behavior. But what if those behaviors are actually a by product of trauma's experienced early on in the child's life. Join us as we learn the effects exposure to trauma can have on the developing brain in early childhood and learn effective strategies for working with these children.
