Tracey Heisler, from CASA SHaW will discuss what developmental trauma is, how it changes children's brains, the challenges that traumatized children and adults often have, and strategies to help them.
With one in four of our friends and neighbors having suffered from early childhood trauma, it is important to understand the lifelong impacts those experiences have over the lifespan.
Tracey Heisler is the executive director of CASA of Somerset, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties, a nonprofit which provides advocates in court for children who have been abused or neglected and are living in the foster care system. She holds BA and MA degrees from the University of West Florida in Psychology with minors in Juvenile Justice and Forensics. Prior to working with CASA SHaW, Tracey served as a Guardian ad Litem in the Florida courts and as a counselor for both adult and juvenile offenders.
