How Occupational Therapy Can Help Children Heal from Trauma- Part ONE February 07, 2023

Children impacted by abuse, neglect, divorce, and loss often face significant challenges functioning in their everyday lives.

This two-part workshop with Occupational Therapist Madalene Rutherford will cover how trauma-informed occupational therapy can provide additional support and healing for the children you love.

Best of all, you will learn practical skills you can use at home and in your classroom to help children cope with trauma.

Occupational therapists use proven strategies to promote physical and emotional well-being. A child’s “occupations” can include anything from activities of daily living (basic hygiene, getting dressed, eating, etc.) to education and playing.
