Trauma-Informed Interventions for Children & Adolescents

Children and adolescents carry their trauma in their bodies and their brains — and the clinicians working with them need tools that match that complexity. This hands-on workshop equips you with a neuroscience-informed, evidence-based framework for trauma treatment with children and adolescents.

Led by one of Us Therapy's principal psychologists, Kate Minosora, you'll move through theory and into practical application — leaving with skills you can bring directly into your next session.

Understand how chronic childhood trauma reshapes the developing brain — over-sensitising the amygdala (the brain's alarm system) and undermining the prefrontal cortex's capacity for emotional regulation and executive function. This foundation changes how you see your young clients' behaviour.

Using the evidence-based PRACTICE protocol, learn how to help children safely externalise traumatic memories through a Trauma Narrative — systematically uncoupling the memory from the body's conditioned fear response, so the past loses its grip on the present.

Apply the Hexaflex model to shift a child's relationship with pain — from avoidance to psychological flexibility. Through cognitive defusion and values-based action, help your clients build a meaningful life that isn't defined by what happened to them.

Whether you're new to trauma work or looking to sharpen your practice, this workshop offers a clear, integrated approach to one of the most important areas in child and adolescent mental health.

Psychologists, counsellors, social workers, and allied health professionals working with children and adolescents in clinical, school, or community settings.

A practical, skills-focused day with case examples, guided practice, and time to ask questions. No dense lecture slides — just real tools for real sessions.
