Millions of children and young people suffer trauma every day. They experience war, flight, natural disasters, violence, sexual abuse, poverty, neglect, illness, accidents, and the loss of loved ones. After a trauma, nothing is the same as it was before. Traumas change lives permanently and can even lead to a break in one’s biography. Emergency and trauma education aims to support children and young people in processing extreme stressful experiences and prevent subsequent trauma-related disorders. The weekend aims to introduce the conception and practice of anthroposophical emergency and trauma education.
For educators at all levels, parents, guardians, medical professionals, and all those invested in the health of childhood.
