Objectives
  • Participants will identify common sensory, environmental, and relational triggers that can cause a trauma-impacted child to lose their sense of safety.
  • Participants will be able to shift their perspective from viewing behaviors as "willful disobedience" to seeing them as adaptive survival strategies and expressions of unmet needs.
  • Participants will be able to explain the difference between punitive measures (which can re-traumatize) and trauma-informed discipline (which focuses on teaching and safety).
