- The usefulness of neurofeedback for children and young people impacted by trauma.
- The importance of Assessment.
Live Webinar Outline
This webinar will be focused on the use of neurofeedback when working with children and their families, who are impacted by multiple layers of trauma. Although this is in the context of a service for refugee clients, the core concepts will be widely applicable for many other client populations. Neurofeedback can be a useful part of treatment for children experiencing symptoms of trauma including sleep disturbance, attention and executive function deficits, and emotion regulation difficulties.
The following topics will be addressed through a case presentation and discussion:
- How neurofeedback as a concept can be explained.
- The usefulness of neurofeedback for children and young people impacted by trauma.
- The importance of assessment.
- Challenges in using neurofeedback with children and their families.
- How neurofeedback fits with other therapeutic modalities used with this population.
