This 4-hour workshop builds on participants’ understanding of how trauma impacts brain development, attachment, and behavior. Through experiential exercises with horses, foster and kinship caregivers will gain insight into how fear and survival instincts show up in children’s actions. They’ll practice noticing dysregulation and responding with patience and empathy to build trusting connections; skills they can directly apply at home. The workshop includes a light lunch.
