This online course will present "Healing the Experience of Trauma: A Program for Youth," which was developed for practitioners to use with children who are living in a constant state of toxic stress. Instead of asking a child what happened, it focuses on their lives now. Learn the process of moving traumatized youth between themes of trauma and feelings of connection, resilience and strength. Structured sessions integrate mind-body skills and expressive art activities that provide the child with a platform to be an active participant in their healing. 

The course consists of video segments of a live presentation by Dr. Caelan Soma and a test and includes CEs. The "Healing the Experience of Trauma" Program is not included with the online course but is highly recommended.
