Attachment-based, Trauma-Informed Care

A new home can be a threatening and frightening place for a child. Caregivers and guardians can contribute to an aura of calm and wellbeing by understanding and practicing trauma-informed care. Providing care that is trauma-informed means adapting household practices, communication strategies, physical spaces, and more to make the home less anxiety-inducing and consequently less likely to re-traumatize the children and adolescents receiving care. This class seeks to help learners conceptualize the nature of this problem and offers practices that reduce the risk of re-traumatization for the young people in their care.

• Define trauma and trauma-informed care 
• Consider the implications of research on childhood adversity and attachment
• Recognize some common mechanisms of re-traumatization 
• Name some practical trauma-informed practices
