Children and adolescents who have experienced trauma have unique brain wiring and are often t a mixture of developmental ages, even those adopted at birth. Typical consequence-based behavioral strategies are often not effective, and can lead to further trauma and impact the relationship between the adults and children/adolescents.

Participants will learn new approaches to use with children and adolescents who have trauma histories, helping you to understand these children better and improve their communication and relationships. The strategies we will cover are recommended for in-utero trauma (such as FASD) and also for trauma they may have experienced after birth. We will specifically cover ‘The Big 3’ behaviors – Raging, Lying, and Stealing.

Barb Clark is the Director of Training at Families Rising (fka NACAC), and is an adoptive and kinship parent to five adult children.

She uses humor and real-life experiences to help professionals and caregivers challenge the use of traditional strategies and push them to think outside of the box.
