Join Texas Lawyers for Children for the virtual replay of this webinar held in October:
You don’t want to miss this opportunity to learn about the Neurosequential Model –which was developed by Dr. Bruce Perry! This is not one treatment model, but an approach that looks at trauma through the lens of neurobiology to assess the strengths and needs of children who have experienced trauma. The Model provides a child-specific, developmentally sensitive sequence of therapeutic, educational, relational, and enrichment activities that help children who have experienced trauma heal and thrive.
The FREE webinar will cover —
– What is the Neurosequential Model?
– How does this unique, science-informed approach help us all better serve children who have experienced trauma?
– How is this Model being used in therapeutics, education, and caregiving?
– How can judges, attorneys, and other stakeholders use the Model to help assess and provide what children in their cases need for healing?
