You’re Invited!
Speaker Series Event – Understanding Trauma’s Impact on Young Children

In partnership with ZERO TO THREE, GEEARS: Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students is hosting an evening conversation with with Dr. Ross Thompson, professor of psychology at the University of California-Davis and director of the Social & Emotional Development Lab.

We invite you to come and learn about the powerful impact that trauma has on the young brain, even among infants. Attendees will better understand how trauma affects the socio-emotional, intellectual, and even physical health of infants and toddlers, and how that impact can last a lifetime without meaningful intervention. We will also discuss strategies and promising practices for intervening with a young child who is showing signs of trauma.
