Description
Children show remarkable adaptability when faced with trauma, as discussed in Module 1. Early intervention is crucial; the sooner we address trauma, the less likely children are to develop maladaptive coping mechanisms that are harder to change later in life. While talk therapy is a common method to address trauma in adults, children find healing through play, their natural way of processing and understanding experiences.

Requirements
- Childhood Trauma Module 1
Here is exactly what we cover in this course:
Traumatic childhood experiences can disrupt a child's developmental trajectory, effecting their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development. To address childhood trauma, understanding the neurobiology of trauma, trauma responses, trauma memories, trauma triggers, and post-traumatic reactions is essential. When post-traumatic reactions and emotions in children are misunderstood as misbehaviour or when unhealed trauma is overlooked, it remains unresolved. Incorporating play-based interventions is extremely effective in helping children heal from trauma. This module not only equips counsellours to recognise and address childhood trauma, but will also assist parents, caregivers and educators to help traumatised children (aged birth to 13 years) heal with trauma-informed tools and techniques in the context of everyday life. Healing will prevent future stress-related physical and mental illnesses and stop the cycle of trauma being passed to future generations.
