PTSD and Interventions for Children Who Suffered Trauma with David Zidar LISW-S

  • Course
  • 6 Lessons

Children in foster care have a vastly higher rate of trauma than their non-foster peers. Some estimates are that 51% of the children in care suffer Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. All adults in these children’s lives must have an understanding of the role trauma plays in their behavior and achievement of developmental milestones. Participants need to understand that the impact of trauma is idiosyncratic. Each child will manifest it differently. Participants will learn ways to help improve functioning and how to work with the mental health system.
