Seminar: Trauma Informed Care
Friday 13th April 2018
XG20 Lonsdale Building, DCU
Trauma informed care is a framework for working with children and youth who are particularly vulnerable. With histories of child abuse and complex trauma, they enter our care systems with troubling behaviours and symptoms, but are not able to articulate their experiences. A trauma informed approach helps to respond more effectively to these children and youth.
