Synopsis

Recognize trauma and learn how to support children and teens who have been impacted by it.

This guide will help you not only recognize the signs of trauma but will show you how to best support individuals dealing with it. You'll also learn how to: - Encourage and cultivate resilience - Practice intentional reflection - Identify compassion fatigue and methods to alleviate the effects Included is information for leaders on how to provide trauma-informed professional development and training to their staff or community.

The more you know about the overall impact of trauma on a developing child or teen, the more effective you will be in promoting long-term overall well-being.

There are many resiliency and trauma-focused resources that focus on defining and identifying key aspects of trauma and resilience, yet, few provide specifics as to how to support youths in overcoming trauma. For this reason, this guide has been structured to primarily focus on concrete and user-friendly strategies for supporting children and teens in building resilience and the skills to counteract trauma, as well as meaningful follow up to ensure enduring effectiveness.
