Creating Change for Children with Complex Trauma Histories: The Falcon Program Approach
Thompson Nicola Branch
Webinar via Zoom Hosted by the Thompson Nicola Branch
Thursday & Friday, May 13 & 14, 9:00 AM3:00 PM
Presenters: Katherine Gulley M.Ed., CCC, RCC, Rebecca L. Sanford, PhD, RCSW, & Kerry Woehle B.A.
One of the most polarizing topics with regards to working with children who have experienced multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences and who demonstrate challenging behaviours is the debate between those who advocate for behavioural interventions and those who advocate for relationship-focussed intervention. The divide between these camps can be vast with both finding much to criticize about the other. In fact, our work with children with trauma histories in the Falcon Program has taught us that neither approach (as they are typically defined) is sufficient to garner success with children and youth with complex needs. Positive behavioural support and trauma-informed relational approaches are, in fact, not mutually exclusive and must be integrated if children and youth with histories of adversity are to heal and develop the capacity to be successful in multiple environments. In this two-day workshop, we will share the history and evolution of the Falcon Program, the theory behind the model, and the step-by-step integrative approach to take to successfully work with children with trauma-based behaviours.
