Allen Cardoza and Dr. Melody Foxx on L.A. Talk Radio discussed trauma in children with Caelan Kuban, the Director of The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children.

Topics discussed included how a teen can be potentially exposed to trauma and the differences between grief and trauma. The interview also discussed why trauma should be considered a sensory experience rather than a diagnosis.

Parents and other adults can help children and youth following a traumatic experience. Kuban provided essential therapeutic information about how they can help children and youth who have experienced, or are currently experiencing, a traumatic life situation.

Participants leave Kuban's workshops feeling energized and inspired to work with at-risk and traumatized youth. Kuban, LMSW, is the Director of The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC), which is a program of the Starr Institute for Training. She has trained professionals working across the country and provided training on how to deal with traumatized children and families. She has been called an excellent teacher and passionate workshop trainer.

Her organization, The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC), works to achieve its mission to bring out the best in every traumatized child by creating environments where children can flourish.

Thousands have given testimony about the efficacy of TLC. Since 1990, it has trained well over 50,000 trauma professionals.

Every day more than 5,000 TLC Certified Trauma and Loss School Specialists and Clinical Specialists provide TLC interventions and resources to children, adolescents, families, schools and other organizations.

Published evidence-based research outcomes support the value of TLC school and agency based programs.

It wasn't until 1990 that TLC identified childhood trauma as the root cause of behavior issues that were beyond the reach of traditional cognitive therapies.

Today, TLC training programs are in place in more than 3,000 schools, community-based programs, treatment centers and childcare facilities across North America and internationally,
