Working with young children with trauma – Applying the practice principles is a series of eight workshops. Each workshop is aligned to one of the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework Practice Principle Guides, providing additional discussion and activities relating to working with young children with trauma.


These materials are designed to be used by experienced facilitators who have an understanding of the topic being discussed and the relevant issues in their workplace as well as some experience working with young children with trauma. The workshops, in turn, are designed for early years educators working with young children aged 0−8 years. The educators should have an understanding of the impact of trauma on young children and ideally have completed other training such as the three face-to-face workshops and/or the self-paced learning package in this Resource Kit.
