What if, instead, we consider it an opportunity to help young people build skills? With this mindset, how do we program in a way that meets the needs of all young people, including those who are impacted by trauma?This session on Dec. 4, from 11 a.m. to noon CT, will provide an overview of trauma and explore how trauma can impact youth in after-school programs. Participants will learn about the differences between behaviors and trauma responses and how to navigate both situations effectively. Finally, participants will learn five questions to consider when addressing challenging behaviors and explore strategies they can use to support the social and emotional wellbeing of all youth in their programs.
