Understanding a Child's Response to Traumatic Medical Experiences

Description

Understanding a Child's Response to Traumatic Medical Experiences
Presented by Allison Levine, MA, LCSW, Clinical Coordinator and Therapist at The Theraplay Institute

When kids experience illness, medical procedures, or scary doctor visits, they may respond in ways that affect their social emotional development or interrupt their daily functioning. Learn about how clinginess, tantrums, stomachaches, sensitivity to touch or sound, sleep or appetite changes, and more may be part of a child's response to a traumatic medical experience. Find ways to best understand and support children and their families.
