A Trauma-Informed Approach to Children Exposed to Domestic Violence
The brain's capacity to adapt and change in response to environment helps us to understand the enhanced vulnerability of a child's developing brain to potentially toxic stressors such as domestic violence and also the pathways to resilience and healing. This workshop examines the predictable and preventable physical, mental, behavioral, and cognitive challenges associated with childhood exposure to domestic violence. The impact of domestic violence is examined within a protective factors framework to facilitate trauma-informed practices and policies.
