The Big 3: Raging, Lying, and Stealing

Description:

Children and adolescents who have experienced trauma have unique brain wiring and are often at a mixture of developmental ages. Typical consequence-based behavioral strategies are often not effective and can lead to further trauma and impact the relationship between the adults and children/adolescents. Participants will learn new approaches to use with children and adolescents who have trauma histories, which will help you to understand them better and improve communication and relationships. The strategies we will cover are recommended for in-utero trauma such as FASD and also for trauma they may have experienced after birth.

Objectives:

• Explore why consequence/punitive-based approaches are not effective with

youth who have trauma histories.

• Identify trauma responsive approaches that promote connection and

relationships.
