This free online psychology course explains how counselling can help clients overcome the effects of childhood trauma. Crises and catastrophes leave permanent marks on human lives and psyches. This counselling course defines ‘disasters’, ‘crises’ and ‘trauma’ before comparing reactions to them during the various stages of childhood development. We then establish the importance of helping children recover psychologically after a traumatic event. Sign up to learn how to support and counsel children who are affected by the trauma created by disaster and upheaval.
