BLaST offers training on brain trauma [TiogaPublishing.com]

School counselors and psychologists gathered recently for a day of collaboration and discussion centered around suicide prevention, adverse childhood experiences and trauma-informed care.

As the group discussed the impacts of social supports and early intervention, one tool used in the training was the Brain Architecture Game, a tabletop game experience that builds understanding of the role of relationships on early brain development — what promotes it, what derails it with what consequences for society.
