Description of Module:

Module 700 Supporting Young Children to Cope, Build Resilience and Heal from Trauma through Play For children who experience trauma, play is a powerful tool that provides them with a context to transform the experiences that are overwhelming, frightening, and unimaginable into manageable and predictable events that they have control over. In this training, we go deeper in understanding the intersection of trauma and play and how to support children to have a voice and pathways to heal.

Many children express their thoughts and feelings more fully and directly through play than they can do verbally because young children’s emotions are often inaccessible to them at a verbal level. For children who experience trauma, play is a powerful tool that provides them with a context to transform the experiences that are overwhelming, frightening, and unimaginable into manageable and predictable events that they have control over. Specifically for early childhood providers, this training will help them learn what to do when they observe trauma being expressed in a classroom through a child’s play.
