This course provides students with the knowledge needed to develop effective interventions with clients who have experienced abuse and/or trauma, initially in Field Placement settings and subsequently in the field as Child and Youth Workers

In addition, students will acquire a basic understanding of how trauma might affect brain development and how that may impact on child and adolescent development. Throughout the course, the students will be learning and practicing strategies and activities specifically recommended in trauma informed practice.
Students will also critically reflect on how to manage secondary trauma, and how to cope with the demands of a profession that deals with traumatized victims on a regular basis.
