Stress, Trauma, and the Brain: How to Assess, Designate, and Serve

About the Webcast

The purpose of this workshop is to deepen school psychologists' understanding of students who display natural, albeit challenging, responses to stressful and traumatic experiences. Participants learn that stress and trauma are more common for our students than imagined, that their impact on the brain and nervous system has a direct and negative effect on learning and behavior, and that when left unresolved, affective problems arise (i.e. depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and self-mutilation). When school psychologists understand the relationships between stress, trauma, the brain, and subsequent functioning, they develop interventions that work not only in the short-term but also in the years to come. Simple yet powerful ways to intervene successfully across academic and behavioral domains are highlighted.

Coming Soon! This course meets the qualifications for three hours of continuing education credits required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, Provider Number PCE 1599, California Association of School Psychologists. The course meets the qualifications for three hours of Continuing Professional Development for Nationally Certified School Psychologists. CASP is provider number 1025, licensed by the National Association of School Psychologists. CASP is responsible for the content of this workshop.
