Supporting Young Children to Cope, Build Resilience, and Heal from Trauma Through Play, Part 1

Session Description

For children who experience trauma, play is a powerful tool that provides them with a context to transform the experiences that are overwhelming, frightening, and unimaginable into manageable and predictable events that they have control over. In this training, we go deeper in understanding the intersection of trauma and play and how to support children to have a voice and pathways to heal.
