Building Resilience in Children and Youth: Tuesday, February 4th 2025. 10:00 -11:30 AM EST

Trauma hinders child development, attachment, and a child’s capacity to be successful. This one-and-a-half-hour live session will engage each participant in considering how to attach to a child and build resilience. Resilience is not a given, but it can be built in children with the help of resilient adults. Helpful tools and ideas will be discussed.
