Professionals treating or working with traumatized children often find it challenging to keep up with the explosion of trauma-related research and clinical literature—especially in neuroscience—that has emerged in recent years. This webinar explains common types of psychological trauma, the effects of trauma, and how a variety of risk and protective factors can influence its impact. Learn how trauma and related problems are diagnosed in the DSM-5 and gain an understanding of the neurobiology underlying the effects of trauma. This foundational information, presented in clear and understandable terms, describes traumatized children's behaviors and why a combination of treatment approaches—both traditional and nontraditional—is often needed to effectively treat them.
