Trauma-Informed Webinar Training | Hosted by Alabama Pre/Post Adoption Connections
Children and adults who have experienced family trauma often carry invisible wounds that affect behavior, relationships, and emotional regulation. Without the right support, traditional approaches can unintentionally increase stress, shame, and disconnection.
This trauma-informed webinar explores how professionals, caregivers, and adoptive families can better support survivors of traumatic family systems using compassionate, brain-based, and relationship-centered strategies.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how early adversity, chronic stress, and complex trauma impact development, and how to respond in ways that promote safety, trust, and healing.

-
How traumatic family environments impact brain development and behavior
-
Common survival responses seen in children and adults with trauma histories
-
Trauma-informed strategies that prioritize connection over control
-
Practical tools for supporting regulation, trust, and emotional safety
-
How to avoid re-traumatization and strengthen caregiver–child relationships
Who Should Attend:
-
Adoptive, foster, and kinship caregivers
-
Social workers, counselors, therapists, and case managers
-
Educators and child-serving professionals
