Supporting young people who have suffered trauma

Join Karen again for an overview of trauma and how it affects brain functionality. We will look at pathways of trauma in the brain, and how brain function can be radically changed by a single or ongoing trauma. We will also take a closer look at what trauma actually is and how it may present in a child. We will plan some generalised strategies, and then look at how to manage more specific situations. As usual, we will have scenarios and exemplars to finish, alongside a “no names” Q+A.

All training is funded by the Scottish Government’s Youth Arts Fund through Creative Scotland with support from Youth Music Initiative and Time to Shine. The Youth Arts Fund ensures creative opportunities for children and young people continue to exist across Scotland despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
