Childhood trauma is responsible for many of our physical, mental and societal problems and interferes with a parent or caregiver’s ability to connect in a safe, stable, nurturing way with their children (and vice versa).
Trauma or ‘toxic stress’ is the number one public health issue of our time and yet it is rarely on the radar in discussions about parenting, education or service provision.
This is your chance to be a part of history-in-the-making as we gather together leaders in the field of childhood trauma for two days of not-to-be-missed information, experiential learning and discussion.
