Neuropsychology of Stress, Trauma and Anxiety in Children - April 22nd

According to the World Health Organization (2020), nearly half of all children worldwide, or approximately one billion children, suffer some form of violence each year.  Exposure to trauma has been linked to a range of negative mental health outcomes, including post-traumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and learning difficulties.  

However, not all children exposed to trauma experience detrimental outcomes, as many children are capable of devising internal coping and resilience strategies to grow from these experiences.  Therefore, this workshop will explore the neural underpinnings of stress, trauma, and anxiety in children and their subsequent impact upon learning and behavior.  

 
There will be a detailed discussion on specific brain regions impacted by trauma, as well as the relationship between anxiety and poor academic performance.  Numerous and practical classroom interventions will also be shared.

Free to attend, but please RSVP as refreshments will be provided: https://bit.ly/FeiferPresentation

Date and Time: Wednesday, April 22nd 2026.

Doors open at 5:30pm. Presentation begins at 6pm.
