Children Experiencing Toxic Stress and Trauma

                                      

 

 Course Description: 

It is estimated that each year in the United States, there are approximately 5 million children that experience some form of traumatic event. Traumatic experiences and toxic stress can have a lifelong impact and there can be physical, psychological and emotional effects on infants and young children. Many of these effects can manifest as challenging behaviors in young children.  We, as early education providers, can provide children with compassion, support and safety by incorporating trauma-informed care and practices into our programs and help children to develop resiliency as they continue to grow and develop into adults. Participants will: Define toxic stress and trauma, analyze the impacts of trauma on young children, families and staff, and identify ways to incorporate trauma-informed care into their early childhood classrooms and programs. Participants will create 2-3 strategies of trauma-informed practice that they will incorporate into their classrooms/programs.
