This workshop will use didactic and active means to explore the basics of identifying trauma, core concepts and definitions, and how to foster resilience in adolescents.
Learning Objectives. Participants will:
- Discuss and identify specific examples of trauma and how they manifest in child and adolescent behavior
- Define resilience and its role in adapting to life after trauma
- Explain & experience how fun, play, and resiliency can be utilized in a strengths-based approach to working with adolescents with trauma histories
