Trauma Responsive Practice in Education
Trauma Responsive Practice in Education is an online training program developed by the Australian Childhood Foundation and the Government of South Australia. Drawing on the latest research regarding abuse related trauma, the training was originally designed for professionals who work in schools and early year settings, however it is highly applicable to foster and kinship carers and other professionals working in child protection.
This online course provides an overview of the neurobiology of trauma as well as a framework for effectively responding to children and young people who have experienced trauma. This foundational knowledge program looks at trauma responsive practice for children and young people as they learn and grow.
Trauma Responsive Practice will teach you:
- a summary of the knowledge and evidence base about trauma and its impact on child development
