Trauma in Young Children Under 4-Years of Age: Attachment, Neurobiology, and Interventions

**CEU's are UNAVAILABLE for Archived Viewing**

Presenter: Dr. Kimberly Renk

This 2 hour explores how young children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of trauma, especially when their relationships with their caregivers are affected. This webinar will examine the characteristics of trauma in young children who are 4-years of age and younger.  In particular, formal diagnostic criteria as well as other signs and symptoms of trauma in young children will be discussed. Further, the neurobiological underpinnings of traumatic experiences for young children will be explored, particularly with regard to potential effects on future development. Finally, evidence-based interventions that may be useful for remediating the effects of trauma for young children and their families will be examined.
