Why Do They Do That? Understanding the Connection Between Trauma and Addictive Behavior in Children and Adults

Course overview

Drug addiction is sending more children into the foster care system. In Ohio, about half of all children who enter foster care have drug addicted parents. Being in foster care is a predictive factor for addiction. In this session we will look at the link between trauma and addiction, and discuss therapeutic responses that promote resilience rather than re-traumatization.
