ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: Odds are often stacked against a child who has experienced maltreatment, stress or trauma in their life. Brain cells network with other brain cells through one’s life experiences, and deprivation of those experiences impact significantly on the child’s development. Maltreatment, stress, or trauma also has a major impact on the child’s functioning and development. Attendees will gain information to help them understand the behaviors of children, particularly when they have been maltreated and/or diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, conduct disorder, borderline personality disorder, and childhood bipolar disorder. Resiliency is a concept that may provide the hope practitioners can use to build a network of protective factors around the child so their life’s outcomes can be successful. OBJECTIVES: Brain Development and the Effects of Maltreatment on Development Upon completion of this workshop, participants should increase their ability to effectively care for clients by being able to:  Discuss basic brain development in infants, school-aged children and adolescents  Describe the relationships between brain development and child maltreatment, stress and/or trauma  Define resiliency and identify risk and protective factors in a child’s life to build success into their outcomes in life; as well as implement these skills in their daily practice.
