General Program Overview

INTRODUCTION: Dr. Melrose begins by elucidating some of the most baffling individuals we work with, those most resistant to intervention who require an inordinate amount of our time and resources as parents, educators, medical and mental health professionals. She explains the need to know more about brain development and brain functioning in order to understand these individuals better and to help them most effectively.

CONTENT: The introduction is followed by a succinct and interactive discussion of the brain – how it develops, functions, and is impacted by the very real events of people’s lives. How and why we misunderstand traumatized individuals and intervene with them without long-term results becomes clear. 

Details are provided that highlight what we need to be doing differently and why. The most efficacious interventions, including therapies, tools, strategies, and resources for these particularly challenging individuals are illustrated with case examples – all based on the latest neuroscience.

CONCLUSION: Although the training is interactive, involving audience participation from the beginning, Dr. Melrose will leave time at the end for additional questions and answers, as well as for reviewing the resources she makes available for sale.
