Recognizing and Overcoming the Effects of Trauma on a Young BrainÂÂ
Each year in the United States, at least 5 million children are either victims ofâ€â€or witnesses toâ€â€abuse, violence, or other forms of psychological trauma. Clinicians and educators are increasingly expected to address the needs of these young victims, but there are many different views of exactly how trauma affects youth and, thus, how it is best treated. Clues for understanding and integrating trauma treatment approaches may be found in current neurobiological research, which continues to show trauma’s damaging effectsâ€â€some temporary, some permanentâ€â€on children’s brain development.

This recording offers an understandable overview of the emerging neurodevelopmental and attachment-based perspectives on child trauma. This approach provides a unifying way of understanding and treating trauma using a variety of treatments based on the youth’s neurodevelopmental level and their current caregiver context. Watch and grasp what happens to the brain when a youth is severely traumatized and how to implement both traditional and non-traditional interventions to treat traumatized youth.
D​iscover how making intimidating neuroscientific research more user-friendly can be key to seeing improvement in even the most challenging cases.
