Trauma affects the central nervous system. It interferes with a child’s ability to relax and focus, and ultimately shapes how the child sees his or her future. Trauma-focused interventions occur on many different levels. In addition to family and other natural supports, a variety of service systems (child welfare, law enforcement, education, faith-based, health, juvenile justice, mental health, etc.) may become involved in providing informal or formal care to a child. Join us for our 4-part webinar series on trauma-informed care.
