Trauma in Early Childhood

Young children may experience trauma through adverse experiences such as family stress, community violence, loss, or instability. These experiences can impact their behavior, development, and ability to form relationships. This training introduces early childhood professionals to trauma-informed practices that support children’s emotional safety and resilience. Participants will learn how trauma affects brain development and behavior, how to recognize possible trauma responses in young children, and how supportive relationships and environments can promote healing.
