Helping caregivers support system-involved youth navigate life after trauma

Klasey Consulting is partnering with Lincoln Families to bring this training Helping caregivers support system-involved youth navigate life after trauma to Alameda, Solano, Mendocino, Lake, Contra Costa, Humboldt, Tuolumne and Calaveras providers. Given the prevalence of trauma, it’s important for parents and caregivers to learn about trauma and how to best support their youth. Youth may turn to maladaptive coping skills such as self-harm or substance abuse. They may struggle in school academically and even behaviorally. They may withdraw or exhibit many other behaviors. It can be hard to make sense of their emotions and behaviors in the wake of trauma. This training will better equip you to talk with parents and caregivers about their child’s trauma and how best to support them.
