Children who have experienced neglect, abuse, loss, or disrupted attachments often live with the lasting effects of complex developmental trauma—shaping how they think, feel, behave, and relate to others.
This free, 90-minute webinar—led by Maude Champagne, RSW, MSW, PhD—offers a foundational understanding of complex trauma, how it differs from other types of trauma, and its impact on brain development and behaviour. Participants will gain practical strategies to care for these children and create safe, supportive environments that promote healing and connection.
