EUB247 Trauma-aware Education in the Early Years

This unit is designed to develop your understanding and skill in neuroscience-informed support and education of infants and young children who are living with the outcomes of complex childhood trauma and adversity. The behavioural and developmental concerns experienced by infants and young children who have experienced trauma and adversity can be significant. By examining the impact of trauma on the developing brain and nervous system, you'll develop your understanding of why and how these concerns occur and explore approaches and strategies recommended to address short and longer-term impacts for infants and young children, their families and the community. You'll be informed and prepared for the times you are responsible for the learning and well-being of these infants and young children while minimising any negative influences on your well-being or teaching practice.
