CNS 606 - Complex/Developmental Trauma: Best Practices for Children, Adolescents and Caregivers Credits: 3

This course will build from the introductory course (CNS 605 - Introduction to Complex/Developmental Trauma: Research, Theory & Practice ) and will focus specifically on effective services for child and adolescent survivors. Content will cover a variety of interventions organized within a universal framework for developmental trauma recovery (attachment, self-regulation, competency). Interventions will emphasize attunement and attachment, sensorimotor development, executive functioning, and resource-building strategies. Special attention will be given to addressing intergenerational, historical and race-based trauma. Participants will be expected to explore personal attachment history as pertains to providing effective clinical/direct service, and continue work with professional resilience building.
