Program:  Trauma, Family Violence, Child Abuse, ADHD, Bullying, & the Brain:  Commonalities & Implications for Practice

Speaker:  Robert Geffner, Ph.D.

Recent research has shown a connection between childhood maltreatment, family violence, trauma, & ADHD, expanding our understanding of the effects of these types of adverse childhood experiences on the brain.  This presentation will analyze the various types of victimization experienced by children that lead to aggressive, impulsive & bullying behaviors, due to the interaction of the brain & psychosocial factors.  The goal of the program is to help those working with domestic violence & child maltreatment cases to better understand the dynamics, characteristics, controversies & issues of these children.
