This live online webinar provides an in-depth look at the impact of trauma on individuals with 22q as well as their close family members, exploring how early traumatic experiences shape emotional, cognitive, and social functioning. Tailored for parents, educators, and healthcare professionals, this session will discuss the ways trauma may affect those with 22q and their families, from heightened stress responses to difficulties with trust and self-regulation. Participants will gain insight into recognising signs of trauma, understanding its potential consequences, and discovering approaches to provide trauma-informed support that fosters safety, resilience, and healing. By the end of the session, you’ll be better equipped to support individuals with 22q in coping with trauma, creating environments where they feel secure, understood, and empowered.
Audience: English-speaking parents or caregivers with a child with 22q (age 0+) and interested professionals
