Signs of possible trauma in children and adolescents

Co-produced with CFCA, this webinar explored how self-blame operates and how perpetrators may manipulate children to blame themselves, how to help children challenge feelings of complicity in their trauma experiences by focusing directly on the power difference between children and adults, and children’s stories of protests or choices they have made throughout their experiences that kept themselves, or their loved ones, safe, to acknowledge that no child is a passive recipient of trauma.

The webinar featured a facilitated interdisciplinary panel discussion of a case study. The panel comprised of Dr Sara McLean (psychologist), Dr Jackie Amos (psychiatrist) and Phoebe (lived experience advocate). Dan Moss, Emerging Minds’ Workforce Development Manager facilitated the discussion.

This webinar with Child Family Community Australia (CFCA) explores ways that practitioners can build a deeper connection with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families.
