Trauma, neglect and building resilience (DAA014)
Explore the impact of adverse early experiences on children and young people
This CPD certified, online course will help you make sense of the lives of children and young people who are struggling. Over five hours of learning, you’ll learn how to identify the characteristics and effects of trauma, abuse and neglect and explore ways to shift behavioural patterns and build resilience.
Aims and learning objectives
Drawing on new understandings of trauma, abuse, neglect and how children cope with challenging experiences, this interactive course will help you to make sense of behaviours that on the surface might seem annoying, upsetting, frightening or personally challenging.
Taking a hopeful and optimistic stance, the course outlines ways to bring about change and build resilience through positive interventions and relationships.
You will learn by:
- exploring key concepts through interactive lecture content and videos
- deepening your understanding via regular opportunities for reflection
- considering a case study to help apply the theory to your work
- testing your knowledge with a multiple choice quiz to access your CPD certificate
