a 3 hour Continuing Education Course for Social Workers

 

Sunday February 4, 2018 10am-1pm

New Location!

Brooklyn Learning Center

147 Lincoln Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217  (between 6th and 7th Avenues)

 

Recent research has shown that some forms of attachment can be predicted from early interactions of infants and caregivers.  This workshop will review the effects of early traumatic stress on the infant's developing brain.

  • How is attachment measured and what are the implications for a child's life when there may be an insecure or disorganized attachment with a primary caregiver?

  • Why is it that despite the best intentions of many parents we may see interactions that are not optimum for their child's development?

  • Even if you are not working with young children, this workshop will give you an understanding of what's going on with the children you may be treating and even with adults and couples!
