Chandra Ghosh Ippen, PhD, Associate Director of the Child Trauma Research Program & Director of Dissemination and Implementation for Child-Parent Psychotherapy, UC-San Francisco
This presentation weaves together metaphors and stories to share what we have learned through research, clinical practice, and the wisdom of children and families about trauma and trauma-informed care. Metaphors offer common language to support our understanding of the impact of trauma, intergenerational trauma and historical trauma. They help us consider pathways to healing and better understand how we, as providers, can partner to support healing.

10:30-11:30amCST KEYNOTE: Metaphors and Stories to Support Trauma-Informed Care & Core Concepts for Understanding the Developmental Impact of Trauma Part 2
Chandra Ghosh Ippen, PhD, Associate Director of the Child Trauma Research Program & Director of Dissemination and Implementation for Child-Parent Psychotherapy, UC-San Francisco
Research shows that children aged birth to five are highly vulnerable to exposure to interpersonal trauma, and trauma exposure at an early age can have long-term consequence for development. Trauma affects children’s sense of safety, their neurobiological development, their capacity to form relationships, and their beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. To support new learning and the development of trauma-responsive systems, the presentation includes core trauma concepts from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and key lessons learned from over 20 years of work with young children and families who have experienced family violence.
