May 26, 2025, LIVE -Understanding Intergenerational Trauma in Work with Children and Youth
Understanding a child’s struggles without understanding their family’s story is like reading a single page from a much longer book.
This live, virtual, full-day professional training is designed for therapists, social workers, and helping professionals who want to bring a deeper, more relational lens to their work with children and families. We’ll explore how intergenerational trauma shapes parenting, behaviour, and attachment—and how we, as professionals, can engage caregivers not as barriers, but as partners in the healing process.
You’ll walk away with:
A clear understanding of what intergenerational trauma is—including social, relational, and biological pathways of transmission
Insight into how trauma impacts parenting, and how legacy narratives show up in caregiver responses
Tools for engaging parents in ways that build trust, reflection, and relational repair
Concrete practices for assessing for intergenerational trauma
Strategies for supporting caregivers through parenting-focused interventions that are trauma-informed, without being trauma therapy
This training is experiential and collaborative. Expect journaling, discussion, small group reflection, and space for both learning and unlearning. It is grounded in attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and the lived experience of navigating intergenerational healing.
Whether you’re new to this lens or looking to deepen your practice, this day will give you both practical tools and the space to reconnect with the heart of your work.
