Through the ACEs studies and neurological research, we now know how significantly early trauma impacts a child’s ability to learn and develop and the importance of addressing the complexities of childhood trauma in schools.
Hosted by ATN's Creating Trauma-Sensitive School Program of experienced, trauma-informed educators, the conference will feature over 40 workshops covering all aspects of understanding how trauma impacts a child's development and how to design trauma-informed schools and communities that help children impacted by trauma to learn and thrive.
Registration is currently open, with early bird pricing of $395 through December 15, 2017. Attendees will hear from experienced educators, authors, therapists and more. www.creatingtraumasensitiveschools.org/conference
