with Nina Rosenberg, LCSW, LICSW
This training is for mental health professionals who want to better understand how complex trauma shapes the emotional, relational, and neurological development of children and adolescents. We’ll explore the impact of early and chronic trauma on attachment, regulation, identity, and dissociation. Participants will learn foundational strategies for working with dissociation and ego states in young clients, along with body-based and expressive techniques that promote safety and integration. We’ll also touch on involving caregivers in the process. Clinicians will leave with practical tools, case examples, and handouts to use right away.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the impact of complex trauma on the emotional, relational, and neurological development of children and adolescents, integrating current research and clinical observations.
2. Recognize and describe at least three clinical indicators of dissociation in young clients, and analyze how these responses serve as protective adaptations.
3. Demonstrate applied knowledge of ego state theory by outlining two developmentally appropriate interventions for use in child and adolescent trauma treatment.
4.Evaluate the therapeutic value of expressive modalities (e.g., play, art, movement) in supporting integration and regulation in dissociative youth.
5. Analyze the role of caregiver involvement in trauma treatment and identify three concrete strategies for engaging caregivers to enhance attachment, co-regulation, and treatment continuity
This is a live, virtual training. The recording will be available after the live event.
