The experience of trauma is often difficult to communicate through words, and is more easily described through sensory-based interventions. Sensory-based interventions are non-language activities like drawing, imagery and other forms of expressive art that help children convey the way they now see themselves, others and the world around them as a result of their trauma experiences.\u00a0Since traumatic memories are stored through the senses, the use of sensory-based interventions provide children with an opportunity to give their experiences a visual identity.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Structured Sensory Interventions for Traumatized Children, Adolescents and Parents\u00a0<\/em>(SITCAP\u00ae) intervention process brings a child’s\u00a0memories of the trauma to life in a safe, contained context so they can be regulated, reordered, and reframed in ways that support a resilience response to future stressful, overwhelming, and terrifying experiences. These activities actively involve children in new experiences in order for them to build new connections.<\/p>\n

If you would like to learn more about our SITCAP\u00ae intervention\u00a0programs, consider taking\u00a0Children of Trauma<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Structured Sensory Interventions<\/a>\u00a0online courses. These two courses lay the foundation for all our SITCAP\u00ae programs. Or take new online course,\u00a0Healing the Experience of Trauma<\/a>, which meets the child where they are now.
