Trauma Assessment & Treatment Certificate

Instructor: Geraldine Crisci

Children raised by nurturing and stable caregivers develop healthy attachments and a secure sense of self. Children raised in neglectful, abusive, or unpredictable environments are at risk of developing attachment disorders and deficits in brain development. Such children present with oppositional, impulsive, aggressive, and mistrustful behavior. They have poor affect regulation and an inability to trust and care for others, and are often very difficult to reach and to treat. These are the children who challenge and drain the resources of parents, caregivers, and professionals.
