What’s in Their Backpack: The Impact of Trauma – This engaging workshop discusses the affects and impacts that trauma can have on the brain.  It not only affects children in the moment, but throughout life if untreated.  By understanding the affects of trauma on the brain, we can gain insight into children’s behavior.
