Continuing Education: Neuro-biology and the Brain

Description: Over the past decade and more so over the past five years there has been increasing research and literature available to clinicians about the human brain and healthy brain growth and development. Healthy brain development is impacted when youth are subjected to traumatic events and in particular child abuse and neglect. This brief workshop will provide a general overview on the brain & brain development; trauma, and its impact on the brain; how attachment effects healthy brain development and treatment strategies for working with traumatized youth and focusing on healthy brain development. An emphasis will be placed on these issues in relationship to sexually abused youth and youth with sexual behavior problems.
