Training Topic: Trauma Informed Behavior Management
Presented by: Angie Dyer, Community Health and Counseling FHD
Trauma Informed Behavior Management is a behavioral management approach that recognizes the profound impact of trauma on a child’s behavior and emotions. This training will discuss the behaviors and emotions typically occurring in children who have experienced chronic long-term trauma and the parenting approaches that will help a child feel safe, develop trust, learn the skills to regulate their emotions and help children learn to join with the parent to get their needs met. It’s a rocky road full of pothole surprises, frustration and emotion for the parent and a need for parental self-care along this long journey to healing.
