Helping Foster and Adoptive Families Cope with Trauma

Date/Time (ET): 
June 19, 2013 - 12:00pm - 1:00pm
Led By: 
American Academy of Pediatrics

This Webinar discusses the American Academy of Pediatrics' guide for pediatricians on how to support adoptive and foster families.  

The Webinar will strengthen participants' abilities to do the following:

  • Identify traumatized children
  • Educate families about toxic stress and the possible biological, behavioral, and social manifestations of early childhood trauma 
  • Empower families to respond to their child's behavior in a manner that acknowledges past trauma but promotes the learning of new, more adaptive reactions to stress
