Participants will learn about the impact of childhood trauma through a dynamic, interactive problem-based learning approach that will include group discussions led by the instructors. The Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma was developed by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (www.nctsn.org) and helps providers conceptualize the children they care for in a complex, trauma informed manner. The presentation will include case-based discussions to facilitate interactive learning.
