This course is designed for students to learn to identify children affected by stress, trauma and/or violence and to effectively support them. Students will learn about the signs and symptoms of stress and trauma and how stress, violence, and trauma affect children's learning, cognitive brain development, and social-emotional development. The short and long term consequences of being exposed to stress, trauma, or violence, as well as the social and family causes, will be considered. Central to this course is the examination of resilience and the strategies that may be used to meet child and family needs.
