This workshop will provide participants with a base knowledge for how stress and trauma impacts young children (ages 0-6 years). Special attention will be paid to the signs or symptoms young children display that may indicate they have been impacted by stressful events. Strategies for providing trauma-informed care to children in any setting will be introduced.
