Reaching The Hurt Child
Meets: Online
Sorry, the signup deadline has passed.
Children who are traumatized due to events such as abandonment by birth parents, abuse, neglect, or other issues, experience relational trauma that interferes with normal child development between conception and early adulthood. With a focus on the adopted child, who is by definition a child who has experienced the deepest relational trauma, that of being permanently separated from his birth mother, "Reaching the Hurt Child" will present both the theoretical- neurobiological discoveries about the effects traumatic events and relational disruption on the child's developmental trajectory as well as offer approaches to helping these children heal by closing developmental gaps.
Learning activities in this course will give students the opportunity to look at their own lives and see how their present capacity for relationship evolved from experiences in childhood, improving their ability to see and meet the needs of a child who expresses his needs through the often opaque language of behavior. Students will be able to apply the knowledge and experience they gain through completing this course to their daily lives and to the lives of children who are in need.
