Childhood Adversity

The Childhood Adversity program at Trinity College Dublin is for professionals working with children and families. It's a 12-week blended course that helps participants understand childhood adversity and approach their work in a trauma-informed manner.

Students engage in online discussions, case studies, and reflective exercises, exploring the impact of childhood adversity on health and well-being. They learn about trauma-informed approaches and how to apply their knowledge to their professional practice.

Graduates can work as children's nurses, social care professionals, or educators in child and family support services, healthcare settings, and educational institutions. Their skills are transferable across sectors, making this program a valuable addition to any professional's qualifications.
