An Introduction to developing trauma informed practice in youth work
13/10/2022, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
All young people are unique and will react and respond differently to things that happen as they grow up. However, for some, the environment they grow up in, the people around them and the stressful or traumatic events they experience, also known as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s), combine to impact negatively in ways that can be lifelong. To cope with these, young people can exhibit a wide range of behaviours, from blocking it out to anger and aggression.
This workshop introduces the basic principles of adopting a trauma-informed approach to youth work practice with children and young people. This includes what trauma is, how to identify it, and some action steps towards engaging young people effectively to build supportive relationships and develop positive coping strategies.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
• Explore Adverse Childhood Experiences, what they are and how they can impact on young
people as they grow up
• Consider the impact of trauma on the adolescent brain and emotional / social development
• Identify connections between various risky and / or challenging behaviours and early negative
experiences
• Discuss ways to build trauma informed positive relationships through youth work.
