Generational Trauma Part 2

Nicole Klasey, Psy.D. & Nola Brantley 

Training Description

“Generational Trauma Part 2” builds off “Generational Trauma Part 1.” Working with foster youth can be challenging given the generational patterns of trauma, poverty, incarceration, etc. So, it’s essential for providers to understand generational trauma and how to work with foster youth from a generational perspective. Without this perspective, we can have unrealistic expectations for youth and their families and encounter barriers to engagement. Providers will learn strategies to support youth with generational patterns of trauma within their families.

Learning Objectives

• Participants will be able to describe one way generational trauma impacts a mother’s ability to attach to her child.

• Participants will be able to describe one way intergenerational incarceration impacts youth.
