Complex trauma describes both children’s exposure to multiple traumatic events—often of an invasive, interpersonal nature—and the wide-ranging, long-term effects of this exposure. These events are severe and pervasive, such as abuse or profound neglect. They usually occur early in life and can  disrupt many aspects of the child’s development and the formation of a sense of self. Since these events often occur with a caregiver, they interfere with the child’s ability to form a secure attachment. Many aspects of a child’s healthy physical and mental development rely on this primary source of safety and stability.

You should attend this conference if you want to:

  • Gain an understanding of the impact of complex trauma across the lifespan
  • Understand the role of culture in complex trauma-related challenges
  • Acquire skills for assessing trauma in child welfare clients
  • Understand the impact of trauma on attachment and nurturing
  • Acquire practical skills to foster resiliency in children impacted by trauma
  • Learn more about the basics of Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) as a therapeutic model for caregivers to provide effective support and treatment for at-risk children.
