Ep 7: The Importance of Together

Today Julie and Ginger talk with Stephanie Garde, ATN’s Operation Manager to discuss peer support. Parent-to-parent support is the root of the foundation of the Attachment & Trauma Network.

Ep 6: What Trauma Looks Like in the Classroom

Today Julie & Ginger dig into how the impacts of trauma show up as behaviors in the classroom. While it’s not always easy to tell, we’re going to explore the ways that Fight, Flight, Freeze…and Fawn show up as behaviors and how we often misinterpret these as other things if we don’t look at the “why” under their behaviors. We’ll also explore some common learning challenges that children who have experienced significant abuse, neglect and maltreatment or have developmental delays. Is your sch...

Ep 3: Why Relational?

In Episode 3, Ginger & Julie dig into Attachment – what it is and how it’s developed. We’ll take a look at Attachment Theory and the 5 attachment styles, as well as what attachment theorists mean when they say “good enough” parenting. Definition to add to your vocabulary: Attunement is being able to tune in to your child’s emotional state. Allowing them to feel seen, known and understood at an emotional level. Providing nurture rather than making the child earn it. (Karen Buckwalter) The fol...

Ep 2: The Hope is in Resilience

The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive parent, caregiver or other adult. These relationships are the active ingredients in building resilience. A committed, stable adult buffers children from the full impact of a traumatic event...and can keep the stress from becoming toxic. - Dr. Jack Shonkoff, Harvard's Center on the Developing Child. What is Resilience? How is it developed? Aren't some children just...

Ep 1: What is Trauma?

In our first episode, we start at the beginning by defining "What is Trauma?" And discussing why creating a podcast at this point in time is a good idea. Our goal is always to inform, give insight and hopefully inspire you on your journey to becoming trauma-informed. As Julie says in this episode, "because trauma-informed isn't something you do...it's something you become." Today's definitions of Trauma come from Dr. Bruce Perry ( www.bdperry.com and www.childtrauma.org ) 1. A psychologically di...
