Introduction to The Neurosequential Model
Presenter: Dr. Bruce Perry
Description: The Neurosequential Model has had global impact - informing professionals in a broad array of disciplines throughout the world. The approach has been embraced by parents and caregivers, psychiatrists, physicians, policy makers, law enforcement, clinicians, educators and coaches. As the approach is adopted by communities that work to help children grow, the concepts of neurodevelopment are incorporated into their core understanding across multiple settings including clinical (therapeutic) settings, schools, caregiving settings, sport, foster and adoptive care settings, etc. In this presentation, Dr. Perry will review the Introduction to the core concepts of the Neurosequential Model that has been taking place across multiple settings in California which inform staff of the protective factors and key concepts and provide an understanding of how a child’s brain works through their life experiences and trauma. NMT Training Certification, NME Training, and the complementing Introduction to the Neurosequential Model trainings which teach staff how to approach family communication, are enhancing protective factors to support youth develop positive coping skills, and build positive social networks that support the youth’s self- regulation.
