Beyond Trauma: The Neuroscience of Fear, Stress, and Connection in At-Risk Youth

In this transformative resource, Bryan Post, an internationally recognized expert in trauma and attachment, unpacks the science behind fear, stress, and behavioural dysregulation in vulnerable children and young people. 

Description

Designed for social workers, healthcare professionals, educators, police officers, and youth justice workers, this recording explores how early experiences of trauma shape brain development and influence lifelong behaviour.

Through real-world examples and the groundbreaking Post Stress Model, Bryan challenges conventional behaviour management strategies, offering a new lens of connection and regulation. Participants will gain practical, neuroscience-backed approaches to fostering safety, trust, and healing in the children and families they serve. This webinar is not just about understanding trauma — it’s about transforming how we respond to it.

Watch or listen to the replay for a compelling and thought-provoking session that will change the way you see behaviours that challenge and the role you play in breaking the cycle of fear and stress.
