Trauma Informed Care & Discipline

We all need discipline in our lives to function well in society. For youth especially, boundaries
and consistency help provide safety and security. How does a caregiver or professional
provide consequences and boundaries with a child who is not attached to the foster family,
and has significant trauma in their lives? This training discusses this topic with ideas and tips,
as well as an overview of why children with traumatic history can be so challenging! Training
content in part developed from National Child Traumatic Stress Network.

Attachment: Beyond Infancy

Attachment is the foundation of all relationships, and when caring for children with a history of trauma and trust issues, it does not always occur easily. Lack of bonding is often a core reason why caretakers and children have challenges in placement and/or disrupt from the home. This training addresses the need for Attachment-Focused care, including some practical tips on how to strengthen connections to children. This training can help caregivers and professionals understand the basics of how attachment issues are extremely common in children who have experienced complex trauma, and what behaviors may come from that history.

Trauma Informed Care: Connections & Healing 

Children (like adults) often define themselves through their connections. If they have been
moved often, pulled from those they are connected and attached to, is it any wonder they feel
and act fragmented from their lives? This in turn potentially opens the door for further trauma
and disconnection. This Trauma Informed training discusses ways for caregivers and
professionals to help a child develop connections, practical tips on communicating about
trauma and help the child build a strength based understanding of their personal story.
