Brain Development and Trauma (Part A,B & C) – 3 sessions

How do early childhood experiences of trauma and abuse effect the developing brain, the nervous system, human behaviour and memory? How can children’s development and recovery be supported following the experience of adversity? All these questions and more will be unravelled in this three-part interactive course.

A must for anyone who works with children and families, this course will explore how the brain develops in the early years of life and the way that the environment interacts with our biology to influence brain development.

The participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Gain an understanding of the biology of the brain, the key brain structures and their functions;
  • Exploring the overview of Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model of Brian Development;
  • Developing an understanding of how to support healthy brain development – the role of the environment and attachment;
  • Understand the impact of trauma and adversity on brain development in childhood;
  • Explore the effect of toxic stress on the functioning of the stress response system and hormones;
  • Develop an understanding for changes in brain structure and functioning as a result of trauma including the effect on memory systems, learning and cognition, and
  • Understand the key principles for supporting children’s development and recovery following adversity.

LEAD acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land we gather and work on, and the land that you are on while visiting our website. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the cultures and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation. A better understanding and respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures develops an enriched appreciation for Australia’s cultural heritage and can lead to reconciliation. This is essential to the maturity of Australia as a nation and fundamental to the development of an Australian identity. Understanding and respect are guiding principles of LEAD’s Reconciliation Action Plan.
