To facilitate positive social and emotional outcomes for children, early childhood educators need to understand and recognize the role of stress and trauma on early brain development and implement proactive and responsive measures to build children's resilience.
This 2-hour course aims to help early childhood professionals understand how they can play a part in cultivating positive social emotional outcomes for each child by applying trauma-informed and resiliency-supporting practices in early learning settings.

- Describe the impact of stress and trauma on the developing brain during preschool years;
- Utilize trauma-informed and other methods of classroom management to assist in promoting resiliency; and
