Are you interested in gaining knowledge and skills about working with children who have experienced trauma? Do you believe there are children in your care who may have been exposed to child abuse or neglect, domestic violence, parents with untreated mental health or substance abuse problems? Our free online program could be a good fit for your learning needs.
