Addressing the Impact of Trauma in Children and Teens: Working Together to Develop Trauma-Informed Care in Schools and Homes

Join our upcoming interdisciplinary conference for parents and educators at Holiday Inn Science Park (Dubai, UAE)

What is trauma and why does it matter in a child and teen’s day to day life?

In addition to life threatening trauma events, trauma can also be the cumulative impact of events that exceed our capacity to cope and cause a disruption in emotional functioning.

While not inherently life threatening, these distressing events can leave the individual feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, which has a consequential negative impact across different areas including their academic, social and emotional life, whether at school, home or other environments.

During our one-day conference, we will work with parents, classroom teachers, counselors, and school leaders to better understand, identify and effectively address trauma-related concerns.

Topics Include

• The Trajectory of Trauma and Resilience: Infant mental health and its impact on childhood and adolescence
• The Ripple Effect: Understanding secondary trauma
• Healing from Trauma: Strategies to reduce the impact of trauma
• In The News: Talking to teens and children about world affairs
• Prematurity and Parental Trauma: What schools need to know
• Effective Discipline: Strategies from a trauma and mental well-being perspective
• Attachment within the Classroom: Managing needs and developing a trauma-informed environment
