General Description
Long Term Impact of Childhood Trauma on Adult Offenders
This six hour course will focus on the lingering effects of unresolved childhood trauma (physical abuse, sexual abuse, and witnessing domestic violence).

Likewise these dysfunctional outcomes will be assessed and filtered through the lens of trauma survival. Key assumptions and strategies for implementing a Trauma-Informed approach will be discussed. This course involves lectures and collaborative activities.
