Many children and youth are exposed to trauma and adverse experiences that, if left unaddressed, can lead to toxic stress and affect lifelong health, wellness and development. This course will help health care providers to identify children who have experienced adversity and toxic stress and to understand trauma, its presentation and risk factors. "Trauma-informed" perspectives, treatments, resiliency and self-care will also be discussed. This three and one-half day course includes the recent science, evidence base and treatments of adversity and toxic stress and is provided by experts in the field.
