The Child Abuse Training and Technical Assistance Centers (CATTA) Training Project is hosting a webinar titled How Trauma Shows Up in the Lives of Commercially Sexually Exploited Children and Youth: Chronic, Complex, and Continuous presented by Andrea Diaz on Monday, November 16, 2020 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm PST.
Commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC) are victims and survivors of multiple human rights abuses who need and deserve specialized treatment, as well as non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and healing-centered services provided by service providers who possess cultural humility, compassion, and relevant life experience. With content informed by survivors, this web-based training is designed to equip practitioners with the tools necessary to address the chronic, complex, and continuous trauma impacting CSEC victims and survivors, as well discuss appropriate and strength-based techniques necessary in supporting young people who are navigating trauma.
Participants will:
-Develop understanding of the various forms of trauma and their role in the lives of CSE youth and children.
-Assess how trauma can present in young people.
-Demonstrate how trauma responses and the impact of trauma can show up in supportive relationships, and how a "saving" approach can be counterproductive.
-Identify at least 3 tools and techniques to support young people navigating their trauma through a strength-based approach.
