In this 12-hour online course, you will learn a strength‐based approach for working with childhood trauma in schools and therapeutic settings.

In addition, you’ll also gain skills to help you manage your own stress, trauma and post-trauma reactions. You’ll also learn:

• Latest findings in neurobiology as it relates to stress, trauma and developmental trauma
• How stress and trauma uniquely manifest in children
• What’s missing in the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) rating scale, effects of trauma on the developing brain and identifed resliency factors
• How to build resilience “toolkits” and create lesson/treatment plans that help youth identify their individual, family and cultural strengths, support systems, and daily practices to promote resilience and growth
• Targeted interventions to safely de-escalate fight, flight or freeze responses

This course is particularly useful for teachers, school counselors, clinicians and social service workers, though parents, foster/adoptive parents or anyone working with youth will benefit.

No prerequisites or prior yoga experience necessary.
