Abstract
This capstone explores the use of trauma-informed care to build resiliency in children who have experienced high-conflict divorce. The research explores the traumatic experience of high-conflict divorce in children and how this childhood trauma can have life-long effects. The literature review highlights how trauma-informed care and resilience can influence the effects of trauma on children. The literature review outcomes illustrate the implications of using trauma-informed care to help foster a higher level of resilience through building coping mechanisms and providing safe places for children. Recommendations for counselling practice and next steps for research are discussed. Trauma-informed care with children experiencing high-conflict divorce aligns with the Canadian Psychological Association's (2017) Code of Ethics for Psychologists and the College of Alberta Psychologists' (2023) Standards of Practice.
